HC Deb 31 May 1967 vol 747 cc42-3W
Mr. Grant

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will state how much money has been paid out by his Department as a result of compulsory purchase and the average amount in each individual case in each of the last five years.

Mr. Mellish

On the basis that the hon. Member is referring to compensation payable on compulsory purchase, the Answer is "None", as the Department does not itself buy land.
