Agriculture: Compulsory Purchase
Asked by: Gareth Davies (Conservative - Grantham and Bourne) Friday 29th November 2024 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether her Department is taking steps to support farmers affected by compulsory purchase orders for nationally significant infrastructure projects to find alternative land nearby. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Development Consent Orders can include provisions which allow the applicant to compulsorily acquire land, with applicants required to follow the process and procedures set out in the Planning Act 2008 and associated regulations. Government guidance for applicants seeking authorisation for the compulsory acquisition of land reinforces that applicants should demonstrate that all reasonable alternatives have been explored. Applicants need to demonstrate that proposed interference with the rights of those with an interest in the land is for a legitimate purpose, and that it is necessary and proportionate. The Secretary of State must be persuaded that the purposes for which an order authorises the compulsory acquisition of land are legitimate and are sufficient to justify interfering with the human rights of those with an interest in the land affected. These matters are considered by the Examining Authority during its examination and inform its recommendation to the Secretary of State. |

Asked by: Gareth Davies (Conservative - Grantham and Bourne) Monday 2nd December 2024 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an estimate of the number of people who are employed to deliver public services by private sector organisations that have been contracted for this purpose by Government Departments. Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) The Cabinet Office does not hold information on the estimated number of people employed by private sector organisations contracted by Government Departments to deliver public services. Individual departments are responsible for managing their contracts in the usual way.
