HC Deb 18 April 1967 vol 745 c55W
49. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will make a statement on the widespread evasion of the development levy in recent weeks; and if he will take steps to subject to the levy those landowners who, before 6th April, 1967, commenced development in an artificial way and for this purpose.

Mr. Willey

Under the recent Land Commission Act there is no power to charge levy on development which was begun before 6th April.
