§ Mr. Cantasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has yet concluded his consultations in respect of the Bonier Committee Report on the use of valuers in the public service, with particular reference to the setting up of a small claims court.
§ Mr. CroslandI am considering the best way of implementing the report's approach against the practical details of the operation of the community land scheme. Meanwhile, a provision has been included in the Community Land Bill to enable rules to be made for the Lands Tribunal to settle disputed claims for compensation without an oral hearing if the claimant so consents.
