asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning why Form C.V. 109 is being issued by the Valuation Office denoting loss of development value without any prior inspection of the premises involved.

The normal practice is for an inspection of the premises to be made before this form is issued. In some cases, for example where the property has recently been inspected for another purpose, there may be no inspection. If the hon. Member has in mind any cases, where difficulty has arisen I will look into them if he will let me have details.
