HC Deb 25 March 1981 vol 1 cc336-7W
37. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will seek to amend the Land Compensation Act 1973 to ensure that those with possible claims against a highway authority for compensation because of new road schemes are adequately notified of their rights.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Arrangements for notification are a matter for individual highway authorities. I am satisfied with the revised procedures now being followed in my department for trunk roads and these are followed by many highway authorities for local roads.
