Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.

Housing and Regeneration Bill

My Lords, my Amendment No. 13 is grouped with this amendment. It relates to a subject that we debated fairly thoroughly in Grand Committee. We got what I would call a reluctant no, but very often what a community could pay for a bit of land is considerably less than its value on the commercial market. That is a reality. We have to be sure that there is flexibility so that where there is a real gain to the community there is some way of dealing with that situation. We thought we ought to repeat this amendment at this stage to see if we can persuade the Minister that a slightly more positive attitude to it would be helpful.
