HC Deb 26 October 1972 vol 843 c391W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if, in the case of compulsory purchase occasioned by redevelopment, he will seek to ensure that any legislation based on the document, Development and Compensation—Putting People First, Command Paper No. 5124, will enable an owner-occupier so affected to purchase a similar property in an equivalent area.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Market value compensation with disturbance payments under the present code, coupled with the new proposals in Paragraphs 36–47 of Cmnd. 5124, will enable many more displaced owner-occupiers to purchase equivalent accommodation.
