HC Deb 05 November 1975 vol 899 c198W
23. Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent representations he has had from Churches and charities regarding the Community Land Bill.

Mr. John Silkin

I met the Churches Main Committee and the National Council of Social Service on Friday, 17th October for an exchange of views on further special provisions they would like to see made for charities in the community land legislation.

56. Sir David Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what he estimates will be the cost to the Cambridgeshire County Council, and Huntingdon District Council, respectively, of implementing the provisions of the Community Land Bill if and when it is passed into law; and what extra staff will be required, giving particulars of those who will require such skills.

Mr. Oakes

This will depend on the level of activity undertaken by the councils and on the arrangements agreed in land acquisition and management schemes.
