HL Deb 11 December 1888 vol 331 cc1735-6

Order of the Day for the Third Reading, read.

THE EARL OF WEMYSS

asked that the stage might be postponed for a week for the farther consideration of what was understood to be an interference with the rights of owners to claim compensation from the Local Authority if they were restricted from advancing buildings to what was considered their frontage line.

LORD BASING

said, that the point was new to him. He understood that the Bill did not propose any alteration of the existing law, except to make it applicable to houses built after the passing of the Public Health Act. Although the objection was taken rather late in the day, no practical difficulty would arise from postponement.

Third Reading put off to Tuesday next.
