§ 10.56 p.m.
Mr. SHAKESPEREI beg to move, in page 58, line 22, to leave out "on the same site," and to insert "in the same enclosure."
Clause 75 enables a subsidy to be paid in order to rehouse persons living in quasi-movable structures such as tents or caravans. The question arose, for what length of time can a caravan occupy the same site in order to be considered a permanent structure corresponding to a dwelling-house, and it was decided that two years on the site should enable a tent or caravan to be qualified for subsidy. It was then asked: Suppose that a caravan be moved a couple of yards, would it then be disqualified for subsidy because it had been moved and was no longer on the same site? The words proposed to be inserted by the Amendment have been chosen to meet that point, which was raised by members of the Committee.
§ Amendment agreed to.
