HC Deb 24 November 1969 vol 792 c35W
Mr. Jopling

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will take steps to exempt from Land Commission levy developments for farmhouses which are in conjunction with poultry houses of over 5,000 square feet on areas of land both under and over five acres.

Mr. Denis Howell

An order will shortly be submitted to Parliament, providing that if a farmhouse is erected under a planning permission subject to an agricultural condition and is elegible for agricultural rating relief, it will be exempt from betterment levy.
