HC Deb 16 November 1972 vol 846 c208W
37. Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the considerations extended to owner-occupiers and house owners in the White Paper, "Development and Compensation —Putting People First", recently published, will be available also to tenants of the local authority accommodation who are similarly affected by road developments and so on.

Mr. Graham Page

I would refer the hon. Member to the Land Compensation Bill. Local authority tenants will, where applicable, benefit from the provisions relating to sound insulation, home loss payments and, when they are displaced from their homes, those relating to assistance with rehousing. They may, indirectly, benefit from injurious affection compensation.
