I move amendment No. 7:—
In page 10, to delete Section 19 (1) and substitute the following sub-section:—
(1) Where the Minister is satisfied that any land or right, which has been acquired by a local authority for the purposes of this Part of this Act, ceases to be required for such purposes, he may serve upon such local authority a notice that he is so satisfied, and there upon the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:—
(a) if such local authority sells, within six months after the service of such notice, such land or right, such local authority shall on demand pay to the Minister a sum which bears to the net proceeds of such sale the same proportion as the amount of the grant made to such local authority by the Minister under Section 35 of this Act in respect of the acquisition of such land or right bears to the compensation or price paid by such local authority in respect of such acquisition.
(b) if such local authority does not so sell such land or right, such local authority shall on demand pay to the Minister such sum (not exceeding the amount of the said grant) as the Minister, after consultation with the Minister for Local Government and Public Health, thinks fit.
I think this amendment will cover the point the Deputy had in mind.
