Part 2: Compulsory Purchase Etc Chapter 1: Temporary possession of land Section 19: Procedure for authorising temporary possession etc
This section provides that compulsory temporary possession of land must be authorised in the same way as the compulsory acquisition of land would have been authorised for the same purpose as the temporary possession, for example through a compulsory purchase order. It sets out the information which must be included in the "authorising instrument".
	Section 19 permits the authorising instrument to include: both compulsory acquisition of land and temporary possession of other land; temporary possession of land only; and both temporary possession and compulsory acquisition of the same land.
	If the authorising instrument would have been subject to special parliamentary procedure had the land subject to temporary possession been taken compulsorily, it will only be subject to special parliamentary procedure if the land proposed to be subject to temporary possession is held inalienably by the National Trust.
	Section 19 also sets out the information which must be included in the authorising instrument.
	This section extends and applies to England and Wales only.
