The statutory framework within which compulsory purchase is carried out is both a consequence and a catalyst of the great expansion of the national transport infrastructure in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In particular, when railways became a practicable mode of transport, a large number of different companies sought Parliamentary approval for new lines up and down the country. The manner in which this was done was by seeking a private Act of Parliament. Every Bill for such an Act had to specify the course of the proposed railway. It was also necessary to provide for the compulsory acquisition of the necessary land, with appropriate arrangements for the assessment of compensation. Since the procedural and compensation arrangements, once refined in some of the initial statutes, did not alter much, Parliament was repeatedly being asked to debate and pass legislation, large parts of which were more or less identical from Bill to Bill.
