Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

My general understanding is that if a compulsory purchase order is used to buy land that is designated common land or, perish the thought, the noble Lord’s village green in Great Bentley, part of the terms and conditions of the purchase would be that additional land would have to be acquired to replace what was being taken over for some other use. I would like an assurance that that will continue to be the case.
