HC Deb 29 July 1930 vol 242 cc453-4

Lords Amendment: In page 54, line 41, leave out "or for laying out as an open space."

Mr. GREENWOOD

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

Mr. SPEAKER

This Amendment raises a question of Privilege. It is increasing the charge to the local authority.

Amendment agreed to.

Lords Amendment: In page 55, line 39, leave out "or the laying out of open spaces."

Mr. GREENWOOD

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

During the passage of the Scottish Housing Bill through this House Amendments were made, which were not made in the English Bill on this particular point. The Amendment now before the House is to bring the English and Scottish Bills into line. I have to point out that the House of Lords omitted to take out the words "or the laying out of open spaces." Therefore, I wish to move the consequential alteration which I have outlined.

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. SPEAKER

A special entry will be made in the Journals of the House.

Subsequent Lords Amendments to page 56, line 31, agreed to.

THIRD SCHEDULE.—(Part I: Modifications to be made in subsection (1) of section forty-six of the principal Act for the purposes of its application to the assessment of compensation under this Act in the case of lands comprised in a clearance area. Part II: Rules as to assessment of compensation applicable in the case of land purchased under Part I of this Act, not being land comprised in a clearance area.)
