2.(1) Where the Ministry considers that, for the purpose of bringing into use
any land which appears to the Ministry to be derelict and likely to remain so
for a considerable period or of improving the amenities of the neighbourhood
of any such land, it is expedient that the Ministry should acquire that land,
the Ministry may, either by agreement or compulsorily in accordance with the
provisions of sub-section (3) of this section, acquire that land and any
easements or rights in or over any land adjacent thereto.

(2) The Ministry may carry out such work on land acquired under this section
as appears to the Ministry to be expedient for enabling the land to be brought
into use or for improving the amenities of the neighbourhood thereof.

where it desires to acquire otherwise than by agreement any such land,
easement, or right as aforesaid, have power to make an order (in this Act

with the modifications thereof specified in the next succeeding sub-section,

shall have effect in relation to every vesting order so made, as if the said
provisions as so modified were incorporated in this Act and in terms made
applicable thereto.
