It is not the corporation that decides to hand over to the Commission; it is the Minister who decides that the development is substantially completed. That means that there will be very little scope for further development, because once the town is handed over to the Commission the designation ceases to have effect. In other words, there is no further ability to acquire any land that has not already been acquired within the designation area. The Commission, therefore, cannot start building an empire, because it does not have the designation area in which to build it.

All that the Commission can do is to continue to build to meet the natural increase within the original area acquired by the corporation and transferred by Order under the 1959 Act. That being so, there is no question of the Commission being able to start development on a large scale, because that would require designation which, I believe, automatically requires the appointment of another corporation.

There are no provisions in the Act enabling the Minister to designate land for acquisition by a Commission, which has no powers of compulsory acquisition.
