HC Deb 29 June 1983 vol 44 c85W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will compensate owners of properties adjacent to the proposed extension to Leeds prison to the extent to which they can demonstrate a reduction in the value to their properties as a result of such proposals.

Mr. Hurd

No. There is no evidence that the permanent value of residential properties will be adversely affected by the very limited extension proposed at the rear of the existing prison. Those properties which would have been affected have already been bought by the Home Office and will be demolished.
