§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government 253W whether he will publish the evidence and information submitted to his Department, upon which the detailed provisions of Section 9 of the Leasehold Reform Act were drawn up.
§ Mr. MacCollThis Section was fully debated in Parliament and I do not feel that I can usefully add to the explanations then given of these legislative proposals which have now become law.
§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, whether he will issue an official leaflet giving guidance as to the proper basis of making a valuation under Section 9 of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
§ Mr. MacCollMy right hon. Friend has no authority to interpret an Act of Parliament; only the courts can do this. The Leasehold Reform Act makes provision for arbitration by the Lands Tribunal in the event of disputes over valuation.
