HC Deb 05 June 1957 vol 571 cc1403-6

Lords Amendment: In page 15, line I 9, after "increase" insert: applying to rent for any rental period beginning before the first day of April, nineteen hundred and sixty-five.

10.45 p.m.

Mr. Bevins

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

One provision of the Requisitioned Houses and Housing (Amendment) Act, 1955, empowered local authorities to subsidise the rents of statutory tenancies of released requisitioned houses until 1st April, 1965, and, therefore, local authorities have an interest in receiving copies of the notice of rent increases until that date, but not later.

This and the following Lords Amendment simply say that copies of the notice shall be served on the local authorities until 1st April, 1965, but not later.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment made: In page 15, line 27, at end insert: for any such rental period as aforesaid."—[Mr. Bevins.]
