New Clause

Definition of compensation

Mrs Cheryl Gillan

Frank Dobson

Not selected  NC1

To move the following Clause:—

‘The Secretary of State shall as soon as reasonably practicable after the day this

Act is passed establish an independent and objective process to determine what

shall be deemed a generous scheme for providing the compensation referred to in

section 1(4)(c), and shall direct that that process itself take place expeditiously.’.

New Schedule

Mrs Cheryl Gillan

Frank Dobson

Not selected  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.’.

Bill, as amended, to be reported.
