HC Deb 10 July 1939 vol 349 cc1997-8

Lords Amendment: In page 69, line 36, at the end, insert: (3) For the purposes of any enactment regulating the erection of new buildings or the extension of buildings by reference to the position of other buildings, no account shall be taken of any building, erection or excavation exempted by or under this Section from the operation of that enactment.

1.45 a.m.

Sir J. Anderson

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

This Clause meets the point raised at an earlier stage by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for South Hackney (Mr. H. Morrison). Its purpose is to ensure, in the case of buildings or structures which under this Bill would be exempted from the necessity of complying with the provisions relating to building lines, that exemption shall not have the effect of automatically entitling other people to construct other types of build- ings extending beyond the building line previously recognised.
