I regret to say Second Report of the Standing Committee on that agreement has not been reached on the amount of Economic Initiatives for 2000/2001 on The Legal compensation to be paid to the Douglas Corporation in Context of Contemporary Economic Initiatives respect of the acquisition of the Villa Marina complex and Report of the Standing Committee on Constitutional the chattels specified in part 2 of schedule 1 to the Villa Matters on The Appointment Process of the Marina Act of 1999. Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man The hon. member’s question does provide me with a useful opportunity to explain the present situation and Social Security Pensions Act 1975 - dispel some of the rather unfortunate public comments Pensions Increase (Annual Review) Order 2001 which have been made in recent months. I shall be brief, [SD No 97/01] but I believe hon. members should be aware of the facts. I have no intention of going into the history of this Building Societies Act 1986 - prolonged issue as I know hon. members are familiar with Building Societies (Authorisation) (Fees) it. Suffice it to say that this hon. Court instructed the Regulations 2001 [SD No 55/01 ] Department of Local Government and the Environment to prepare primary legislation for the compulsory acquisition European Communities (Isle of Man) Act 1973 - of the complex, and the Villa Marina Act received Royal European Communities (Federal Republic of Assent on 14th December 1999. Section 1(4) of the Act Yugoslavia Sanctions) (Funds and Investments) provides that the appointed day would be not later than Regulations 2001 [SD No 105/01] three months after the passing of the Act, though there Dual-Use Items (Export Control) (Amendment) was also provision that the Council of Ministers could have Regulations 2001 [SD No 111/01] made an order appointing an earlier date. No such order was made, which means that the transfer of ownership took Burials Act 1986 - place on 14th March 2000. Burial Grounds (Maximum Rate) Order 2001 Section 3 of the Act provides that the level of [SD No 68/01] compensation to be paid to the corporation is to be Villa Marina - Payment on Transfer of Ownership - Question by Mr Cannell TYNWALD COURT, TUESDAY, 20th MARCH 2001 T611 determined in accordance with part 3 of the Land The President: The hon. member for Council, Mr Acquisition Act of 1984 and is to be paid into the borough Kniveton. fund. Now I am pleased to say that the Douglas Corporation has been very co-operative and this ensured a smooth Mr Kniveton: Yes, thank you, Mr President. I would transition to the Department of Tourism and Leisure, which just like to ask the Chief Minister, is there an agreement in now operates the complex on much the same basis as place to pay a rate of interest on the eventual agreed price previously. However, there was a delay in obtaining from commencing from the date of the handover or transfer of the corporation an agreed inventory, partly because some the ownership? items of equipment, for example, were loaned by third parties and not owned by the Douglas Corporation. These The President: The Chief Minister. issues were only finally resolved in January of this year. Following agreement as to precisely what was to be Mr Gelling: I do not think that is the case Mr President, included for the purposes of assessing the compensation, because the figure, of course, has not been arbitrated or the property consultants acting for government arranged agreed - to meet with the corporation’s agent, and I understand that that meeting took place on 8th February 2001. At that A Member: I agree. meeting the corporation’s agent raised a legal point which required resolution before the two parties could begin to Mr Gelling: - so I do not think that is the case, sir. arrive at a figure upon which agreement might be reached.
