Clause 73 - Compulsory acquisition of land for development etc
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

Sir Paul Beresford (Mole Valley, Conservative)
My hon. Friend might not be old enough, but I can remember the 1970s, when local authorities, using the excuses set out in subsection (3), accumulated properties by means of
compulsory purchase and then did nothing with them, to the detriment of the community. Will any action be taken to prevent that from happening again?
