§ Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources whether it is his policy, after the day which he proposes to appoint under the legislation foreshadowed in Command Paper 2771, that demands should be made for payments of the proposed levy in respect of sales of land and developments taking place between 22nd September, 1965, and the said appointed day; and whether grants of planning permission for inclusion in development plans during the said period will render the land in question liable to compulsory purchase by the proposed Land Commission.
Mr. WileyNo levy will be demanded in respect of sales of land completed or of development of land started in compliance with the relevant building and planning controls before the appointed day. In reply to the second part of the Question the Land Commission will be able to use compulsory purchase powers where these are needed in order to bring land forward for development whether the grant of planning permission or the inclusion of proposals in a development plan occurred before or after the appointed day.
