§ Mr. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to advertise the fact that those who wish to claim retrospective home loss payments under the Land Compensation Act 1973 must do so before 22nd November 1973.
§ Mr. Graham PageAn advertisement issued by the Department has recently appeared in eight national daily and eight Sunday newspapers and also, in translation, in publications read by the immigrant community.
In addition the Department has sought to contact individually all those who were displaced by its own road schemes between 17th October 1972 and 23rd May 1973 to inform them that their claims for home loss payments must be made by 22nd November this year at the latest. Local authorities have also been asked to make every effort to ensure that early warning is given to possible claimants.
314WThe publicity urges that anyone who was displaced between 17th October and 23rd May by an acquiring authority and who believes he has a valid claim should get in touch with the authority without delay.
