answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2018 answer text <p>The motion passed by the South African Parliament on 27 February 2018 committed to ‘make use of all mechanisms at the disposal of the state’ in pursuing a land reform programme, and tasked a committee with reviewing whether the Constitution needed to be amended for the State to expropriate land without compensation. It is not possible to make an assessment of the impact of a future land reform programme until it has been formulated, however, President Ramaphosa has provided clear examples of when a policy of expropriation could be used. These include: unused land, derelict buildings, purely speculative land holdings, or circumstances where occupiers have strong historical rights and title holders do not occupy or use their land, such as labour tenancy, informal settlements and abandoned inner-city buildings.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 25/10/2018 15:29:40 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
