	New Schedule
	Mrs Cheryl Gillan
	Frank Dobson
		NS1
	To move the following Schedule:—
		‘Property purchase bond scheme
		1           The Secretary of State or the Promoter of the High Speed Rail Scheme (the
		Promoter) will establish a market-based property purchase bond scheme (“the
		Bond Scheme”).
		2           Bonds issued under the Bond Scheme are referred to as “Bonds”.
		3           All owners of blighted properties will be eligible for a Bond which will transfer
		with a property affected by any High Speed Rail proposals or project whenever
		said property is sold.
		4           Eligibility for the Bond will be determined by whether a property suffers or
		might suffer loss in value due to the High Speed Rail proposals or project.
		5           The Bond will underpin the full market value of the property designated as
		blighted so that the property can be the subject of a mortgage or charge and be
		disposed of in the same fashion as if it had not been blighted.
		6           The Bond will be redeemed by the Promoter only after all relevant permissions
		and consents for the high speed railway have been granted and if no purchaser
		is forthcoming at the unblighted price (making the Promoter the purchaser of
		last resort).
		7           Nothing in the Bond Scheme will prevent any other types of compensation
		being added to the compensation scheme for High Speed Rail blight as a
		whole.’.
