Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend. I was aware that it had been published. We are now looking at that and considering how to take it forward. It certainly looks at issues relating to land value and compulsory purchase.
Lord Young of Norwood Green (Lab)
My Lords, what are the Government doing to encourage community ownership, when it is still ownership but the land itself remains within the local authority?
Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
My Lords, the noble Lord will be aware of community ownership proposals and policies relating to public houses and so on. I do not think he was getting at that, however; rather it was to do with residences. I will write to the noble Lord on that broader issue and copy it to the Library.
