HC Deb 07 May 1968 vol 764 c48W
30. Mr. Neave

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will make a further statement on the betterment levy demanded by the Land Commission last year from Mr. E. E. Finnecy and Mr. J. Watling, both employed by the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell.

Mr. MacDermot

No. It is not desirable to give information on an individual's liability to betterment levy.

60. Mr. Neave

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether the betterment levy concession that he made on 10th April applies to those who purchased land between 22nd September, 1965 and 6th April, 1967, both for residential and non-residential purposes.

Mr. MacDermot

No. As my right hon. Friend said in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Southampton, Test (Mr. R. C. Mitchell) on 10th April, the concession applies only to plots of land bought in this period for single houses.
