HC Deb 22 November 1920 vol 135 c133

(3) This Section shall not apply to any tenancy granted for a term expiring on some date earlier than the first day of January nineteen hundred and twenty-two, but shall apply notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary.

Mr. E. WOOD

I beg to move, in Subsection (3), to leave out the words "but shall apply notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary."

This is an Amendment designed to improve the drafting of the Bill, and will make it, I think, a little more intelligible to the lay reader.

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

I accept the Amendment, which improves the drafting.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. E. WOOD

I beg to move after Sub-section (3) to insert a new Subsection— (4) In any case to which this Section shall apply, it shall apply notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary.

Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

May I ask for a little explanation of the effect of this Amendment?

Sir A. BOSCAWEN

This is merely consequential on the other Amendment. We have taken out some words, and we are bound to put in other words, and this is an improvement in the drafting.

Amendment agreed to.
