Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what provision he has made in his Department's budget for the proposed west of Aylesbury-Wing bypass for compensation payments to householders whose homes would be reduced in value or otherwise affected by his Department's plans.

Mr. Key

No provision has yet been put aside for compensation. For planning purposes, a sum of £5.3 million—Q1/92 prices—has been esimated for the cost of land and properties including compensation.

Persons who would be directly affected by the route of the bypass would be able to make a case for the purchase of their property under blight terms once a preferred route has been decided and protected.

Persons who consider that the physical effects of public traffic using the new road once opened would affect the value of their property may make a claim against the Department under part I of the Land Compensation Act 1973. The claim period would commence one year after the new road opened to traffic.

Mr. Robert Ainsworth
