HC Deb 20 May 1935 vol 302 cc131-2

9.33 p.m.

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

I beg to move, in page 36, line 14, after "rents," to insert: (exclusive of any amounts included therein in respect of rates or water charges). The next ten Amendments refer to a very simple point. They are made to exclude rates and water charges both from the credit and the debit side in the Housing Revenue Account. We thought we had done that in the Clause but we find that in fact we had not, and these ten Amendments carry it out. They are mostly drafting.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 36, line 31, leave out "at any time," and insert "for the purpose of the provision by them."

In line 33, leave out "for the purposes of," and insert "of housing accommodation for the working classes under."

In line 34, leave out the fourth "of," and insert "under."

In page 37, line 4, leave out "taxes, rates, rents and other charges," and insert "rents, taxes and other charges (except rates and water charges)."

In line 33, after "sold," insert "or otherwise disposed of."

In line 36, leave out "the proceeds of sale," and insert: capital money received by the authority in respect of the transaction.

In line 37, after "directs," insert "as respects the whole or any part of such income."

In line 42, leave out from "authority," to "shall," in page 38, line 5, and insert: for any of the purposes mentioned in paragraph (i) of sub-section (1) of this section."—[Mr. Shakespeare.]
