Part of Orders of the Day — Housing Bill – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 13 April 1964.
I beg to move Amendment No. 180, in page 100, line 33, at the end to insert:
(6) In the case of land which is situated partly in the area of one local authority and partly in the area of another, references in this section to the local authority in whose area the land is situated shall be construed as references to each of those local authorities.
This Amendment is similar in effect to Amendment No. 21 and is consequential upon the group which we have just passed. The group provides that
the S.S.H.A. shall consult a local authority before resorting to compulsory purchase and that the local authority shall have the right to object to any compulsory proceedings initiated by the S.S.H.A. The new subsection makes it clear that where land is situated partly in the area of one local authority and partly in the area of another, both local authorities would have the right to be consulted or heard.
