In summary, the Committee asked whether:
(a) the new section authorised compulsory purchase;
(b) if it did, the power was proportionate and framed to enable an adequate level of compensation to be paid in all circumstances in accordance with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR); and
(c) the power to disapply, or apply with modifications, the provisions of the 1963 Act is a wide power better suited to being set out in primary legislation and, more generally, whether the content of the regulation-making power should instead be set out in full on the face of the Bill.
