§ Lords Amendments: In page 49, line 43, after the word "includes" insert "such."
§ In line 43 after the word "deficiency" insert "arising from default on the part of the landlord."
§ In page 50, line 1, leave out from the word "walls" to the word "and" in line 4, and insert "as is injurious or dangerous to the health of the occupants."
§ Mr. GREENWOODI beg to move "That this House doth disagree with the Lords in the said Amendments."
As I indicated on the first Amendment, for the vote on which I thank the House, it is not my intention to ask the House to agree with this Amendment. The Amendment deals with a matter which was not contained in the Bill as originally drafted. Local authorities are in same difficulty as to whether "disrepair" did include the state of the wallpaper. In order to meet their case we included in the Bill, during its passage, a definition of "disrepair." Their Lordships' House does not appear to agree to the concession which I proposed. Therefore I shall propose to leave out the whole of the definition with regard to disrepair, 872 and to leave the law as it was before the Bill was introduced.
§ Amendment made to the Bill in lieu of Lords Amendment last disagreed to: In page 49, line 53, by leaving out from the beginning to the word "and" in page 50, line 4.—[Mr. Greenwood.]

§ Reason for disagreeing to one of the Lords Amendments reported, and agreed to.
§ To be communicated to the Lords.—[Mr. Greenwood.]
