Article 7 Powers to acquire subsoil only

The Executive may compulsorily acquire so much of the subsoil of the land referred to in article 3 above as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision instead of acquiring the whole of the land.

Where the Executive acquires any part of the subsoil of land under paragraph (1) above the Executive shall not be required to acquire an interest in any other part of the land.

Paragraph (2) above shall not prevent article 10 below from applying where the Executive acquires a cellar, vault, arch or other construction forming part of a house, building or factory.
