HC Deb 13 December 1965 vol 722 cc191-2W
58. Mr. Farr

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources if industrial developers and the operators of mineral undertakings fall within the category of estate developers, for the purpose of paragraph 32 of the White Paper on the Land Commission.

Mr. Willey

No. However, I recognise that operators of mineral undertakings face certain special problems and I propose to give them an exemption from liability to levy when they start development after the appointed day for any land which was in their ownership at the time of the date of the publication of the White Paper.
