2.(1) In order to provide or facilitate the provision in Northern Ireland of
premises for occupation by undertakings carried on or to be carried on, or for
otherwise meeting the requirements of such undertakings, or for meeting the
requirements (including the training) of persons employed or likely to be
employed therein, the Ministry may, subject to the provisions of this Act

(a)by agreement acquire or take on lease any land or, subject to subsection
(2), acquire land compulsorily;

(b)do anything which is required in order to develop land so acquired or taken
on lease, including the erection or extension of buildings, the carrying out
of works and the provision, or facilitating the provision, of means of access,
services or other facilities; and

(c)dispose of any land so acquired or taken on lease.

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) shall enable the Ministry to acquire, otherwise
than by agreement

(a)any land of an undertaking, which is in use for the purposes of that
undertaking, being an undertaking which provides employment which is
substantial having regard to the extent of the land used for its purposes and
the nature of the undertaking; or

(b)any land owned or occupied by or on behalf of a housing or local authority
or any public utility undertaking.

(3) Subject to subsection (2), where the Ministry desires to acquire,
otherwise than by agreement, any land for the purposes referred to in
subsection (1), the Ministry may make an order (in this subsection referred to
as a "vesting order") vesting that land in the Ministry; and Schedule 5 to the
Roads Act (Northern Ireland) 1948 shall, subject to the modifications thereof
specified in Schedule 1, apply for the purposes of the acquisition of land by
means of a vesting order made under this subsection in the like manner as it
applies to the acquisition of land by means of a vesting order made under that
Act.

(4) Without prejudice to the generality of the power thereby conferred, the
power conferred on the Ministry by subsection (1)(b) shall include power

(a)to modernise, alter, rebuild, repair or keep in repair any premises held by
it under this Act;

(b)to provide in any such premises such plant or other equipment, fittings or
fixtures of a permanent or semi-permanent nature as the Ministry considers
necessary for the proper occupation of the premises.

(5) Without prejudice to subsection (1)(c) or to any other power of disposal,
the Ministry may, with the approval of the Ministry of Finance and subject to
such terms and conditions as the Ministry may think fit, dispose of any land,
acquired or taken on lease under this Act, for the purpose of the provision of
any basic service.

(6) Nothing in section 5 of the Stormont Regulation and Government Property
Act (Northern Ireland) 1933 (which relates to the taking and disposal of land
for the public services) shall affect the disposal by the Ministry under
subsection (1)(c) or (5) of land acquired or taken on lease under this Act.
