Synopsis

Excerpt from First Report of the Committee Dealing With the Law and Practice: Relating to the Acquisition and Valuation of Land for Public Purposes

The office of Commissioner on the new Sanctioning Authority will be one of great honour and responsibility, and we believe that sufficient members of the two Houses, and of suitable men outside, can be found willing to do the work without payment. We desire to emphasise our opinion that if good men are chosen, and Parliament really regards the new Authority as a sub - Committee of itself with co-opted members, it can be made to work with the greatest benefit to the whole community. But its success is essentially dependent on the choice of good men to serve on it. For this purpose, we propose to adapt the present machinery of Parliament which is used for selecting members and Ch'airmen of Select Committees, and we advise a Joint Committee of Selection of the two Houses who should, at the beginning of each Parliament, nominate the salaried Chairman of the whole body, and appoint all the members, out of their number selecting a Panel of Chairmen to preside over specific inquiries. All members, except the salaried Chairman, Should, we think, vacate their office at the commencement of each new Session, when the Selection Committee should appoint a new list, with power to re-appoint members.

I think the above summary will put you in possession at once of the broad outlines of a constitutional innovation which may seem ambitious for a Committee appointed to deal with the acquisition and valuation of land, but which I believe to be practicable and necessary if the land questions which lie at the root of so many problems of National Reconstruction are to be efficiently handled, and if the complexities of procedure which threaten to stiﬂe production and progress in this and other directions are to be moved. The Committee approached. The whole question quite independently, but with a real desire to deal adequately with the defects in theexisting law and practice relative to the acquisition and Valuation of land for public purposes, which were referred to them for inquiry in the widest terms. We found that in order to treat our specific reference at all effectually, we must begin a step further back than simply suggesting amendments of the Lands Clauses Acts, which we shall treat fully in our next Report. We all, at the same time, after long discussion, found ourselves in agreement on the present scheme for a new Sanctioning Authority and the fact that it has been evolved by a number Of members with different general points of View on land questions, but with very extensive practical experience in each case of certain branches of the subject, is some guarantee that the scheme is practical and well considered.

Product Description

Excerpt from First Report of the Committee Dealing With the Law and Practice: Relating to the Acquisition and Valuation of Land for Public Purposes The First Report of the Committee (under the Chairmanship of Mr. Leslie Scott, K. C., M. P.) on the Acquisition and Valuation of Land for Public Purposes deals with the acquisition of land (more particularly under compulsory powers) in England and Wales. Questions of valuation and of the extension of the principles of the First Report to special branches of the question of acquisition of land and of rights over or under land (e.g., in connection with mining developments) are reserved for further specific Reports by the Committee. The main recommendations of their First Report are directed to an extension of the principle of compulsory acquisition for purposes in the public interest, and to a simplification of procedure for the application of such powers, subject to provision for just compensation to the owner affected. The question of reducing the cost and simplifying the process of obtaining Parliamentary powers for the execution of works and public purposes generally is also treated in the Report (which is published at the same time) of the Committee on the Acquisition of Powers, of which Sir George Murray, G.C.B., was Chairman. The two Committees have, however, necessarily approached the general question of simplification in existing procedure for the grant of powers from different points of view in accordance with their respective terms of reference. The deliberations of Sir George Murray's Committee were mainly directed to the better adaptation of existing machinery, for the grant of powers generally, to the needs of Local Authorities. Their recommendations in regard to bringing up to date Acts conferring general powers on Local Authorities, the periodical revision of such Acts, the consolidation of Local Acts, and on other points not affecting the acquisition of land, are not dealt with in the Report of the Land Ac
