HC Deb 31 July 1978 vol 955 cc150-1W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations he has received from local authorities in the West Midlands County area regarding their inability to pay compensation to owners of property adjacent to structures demolished by such local authorities on those occasions when the adjacent properties have been damaged in circumstances not amounting to actionable negligence.

Mr. Armstrong

I am not aware of any such representations. My hon. Friend may care to write to me about any particular problems he has in mind.
