REPURCHASE

HC Deb 21 June 1984 vol 62 cc574-5

Mr. Gow

I beg to move amendment No. 37, in page 9, line 3, leave out 'in the defective dwelling' and insert `so far as subsisting in the defective dwelling and any garage, outhouse, garden, yard and appurtenances occupied and used for the purposes of the dwelling or any part of it (in this section referred to as the "interest to be acquired").'.

Mr. Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take Government amendments Nos. 39, 41, 44 to 49, 57, 58 and 87.
