§ 74. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many compulsory purchase orders for all purposes have been served on owner-occupiers for the years 1963 to 1968 and to the latest available date in 1969.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThis information is not available.
§ Mr. J. H. Osbornasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in view of the need for better consultation between local planning committees and the public affected by their decisions, he will send a circular to local authorities asking them to advise all those affected by compulsory purchase orders, blight, and rehousing problems, in connection with local plans, whether landlord or tenant, of particulars of their rights and the procedures they should follow in their own interest following recent legislation including the 1968 Town and Country Planning Act.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonMuch information about rights and procedures is already made available, either generally or as and when needed. A reminder about the importance of following this practice in relation to the new development plan system introduced by the Town and Country Planning Act, 1968 will be included in the relevant circular.
