HC Deb 25 July 1919 vol 118 c1743

The following Amendments stood on the Paper in the name of Mr. MUNRO: After Sub-section (1) to insert as a now Sub section (2) Within twenty-one days after the receipt of such notice the owner may intimate in writing to the local authority his intention of closing the house for human habitation, and thereupon a, closing order shall be deemed to have become operative in respect of such house.

Mr. MUNRO

I do not propose to move this Amendment for the following reason. I understand that a similar Amendment to that which I have put on the Paper is now a matter of controversy between the two Houses on the English Bill, and I think the proper course to adopt is to leave this Amendment over meanwhile and probably in another place adopt the terms of the Amendment which may finally be adopted as the result of consultation between the two Houses.
