§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many owner-occupiers displaced as the result of the Eastern Avenue by-pass scheme, Cardiff, who have agreed to compensation terms, have not yet been paid the full amounts; and when these claims will be settled.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThere are eight such owner-occupiers on the Gabalfa section of the scheme, for which a Compulsory Purchase Order has been made, and three on the remainder. These cases will be settled as soon as the legal work on the conveyancing of freeholds and assignment of leaseholds has been completed.
§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for Wales when further compulsory purchase orders will be issued on properties involved in the Eastern Avenue by-pass scheme; and whether he will list these properties.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThe properties will be listed in the draft Compulsory Purchase Order. Publication of this is being delayed pending a decision, which is expected within two months, on the Roath Railway Branch Line. If the line is to be sold I would hope to use as much of the railway land as possible for the road works.
