HC Deb 30 July 1935 vol 304 c2620

Lords Amendment: In page 44, line 3, leave out "in the Acts of 1925 and 1930."

10.16 p.m.

The LORD ADVOCATE

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

This Amendment ought to be read in conjunction with the two following Amendments: In page 44, line 12, to leave out "that is to say" and to insert: and the references therein to Part I of the Act of 1925 or to Part II of the Act of 1930 included references to the foregoing provisions of this Part of the Act, that is to say—

  1. (a) section twenty-three of the Act of 1925 (which relates to notices and to applications to the sheriff in relation to demolitions);
  2. (b) section twenty-five of the Act of 1925 (which relates to remedies of owners for breach of contract);"
and in line 21, at the end, to insert: ("and (f) section twenty-nine of the Act of 1930 (which relates to the power of the sheriff to determine leases in certain cases).") The Act of 1925 contained provisions with regard to obstructive buildings. Those were repealed in 1930, and are now being re-enacted in a modified form in Clause 51, and their re-enactment necessitates the re-enactment of Sections 23 and 25 of the Act of 1925 which dealt with the question of notices, appeals and such like.

Subsequent Lords Amendments, to page 44, line 21, agreed to.
