HC Deb 05 June 1947 vol 438 c426
Mr. T. Williams

I beg to move, in page 25, line 21, at the end, to insert: (2) In proviso (b) to the said Subsection (1) (which provides that compensation under the Section shall not be payable unless the tenant has, before the termination of the tenancy, given notice of his intention to claim) for the words 'before the termination' there shall be substituted the words 'not later than one month before the termination'. At present, under Section 9 of the 1923 Act, the tenant is only required in this sort of case to give notice before the termination of the tenancy. We think that at least he might give the landlord one month's notice of intention. We believe this is in accordance with the wishes of the Opposition.

Amendment agreed to.
