FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1975.
MR. BARNES ADDED THAT THE SCHEME WAS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN SALES OF LAND AND THE GOVERNMENT WOULD BE AT PAINS ENSURE THAT THE SYSTEM DID NOT RESULT IN A. STAGNATION OF LAND SOLD. TO THIS END BUILDING COVENANTS WOULD BE ENFORCED MORE STRICTLY.
IN THE CASE OF RESIDENTIAL LAND, DEVELOPERS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPAY PREMIUM IN FULL, IN RESPECT OF FLATS OR PARTS OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT WHICH THEY WISHED TO SELL OFF. THIS WOULD BE ACHIEVED BY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE INCLUDED IN CONDITIONS OF SALE OR GRANT AND IN THE LAND OFFICER'S CONSENTS TO THE SALE OF FLATS.
+FLAT-PURCHASERS WOULD MOREOVER BE PROTECTED FROM ANY DANGER OF CONTRACTING A LIABILITY FROM THE PAYMENT OF FUTURE PREMIUM INSTALMENTS, BY SPECIAL CONDITIONS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE DOCUMENTS AND IN THE LAND OFFICER'S CONSENTS FOR THE SALE OF FLATS, MR. BARNES SAID.
