§
Lords Amendment: In page 6, line 8, at end, insert:
(5) Subsections (1) and (2) of section twenty-three of the Housing Repairs and Rents Act, 1954, shall not apply where the standard rent of the dwelling-house (within the meaning of that section) is a rent agreed or determined in accordance with the next following section.
§ 11.10 p.m.
§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department and Welsh Affairs (Sir David Maxwell Fyfe)I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This Amendment secures that the standard rent fixed under Part I cannot be increased by a "repairs increase" under the Housing Repairs and Rent Act. I do not think that there is any controversy about this.
