Part 9: Compulsory Purchase Procedure Section 184: Corresponding provision for purchases by Ministers Background
As well as public bodies such as local authorities, Government Ministers also have compulsory purchase powers. The procedure which must be followed for CPOs made by Ministers is set out separately in Schedule 1 to the 1981 Act and operates differently. This is because certain modifications are required for Ministerial CPOs to reflect the fact that they are both the acquiring and confirming authority.
	This section and Schedule 19 amend Schedule 1 to the 1981 Act.
