HC Deb 19 March 1968 vol 761 c62W
71. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will seek to amend the law so as to prevent local authorities making offers of compensation to owner/occupiers of property affected by compulsory purchase orders subject to a percentage abatement if the local authority undertakes to rehouse them.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend is not satisfied that further legislation is the best way; of dealing with the great variety of circumstances involved in cases of this sort, and is considering what advice to give to War authorities.
