This is designed to give effect to certain suggestions made by my right hon. Friend opposite (Sir D. Maclean) when the Bill was in the Committee stage. I ventured to put before the Committee that it was not absolutely essential that these words should be inserted, because I thought they were covered by the provisions of the Bill. Since then I have looked into the matter again, and I think perhaps there is a little doubt as to whether, apart from the insertion of these words, the points which my right hon. Friend pressed upon me would be sufficiently met. In order that there should toe no doubt about them I have put this Amendment on the Paper.
- "(e) The number of storeys in a tenement containing houses, and the arrangements of such tenements in blocks or otherwise;
- (f) The provision of open spaces about houses."
§ Amendment agreed to.
