Clause 4.—(POWER TO REQUIRE REMOVAL OR ALTERATION OF A BUILDING NOT CONFORMING TO PRESCRIBED STANDARD.)

HC Deb 28 June 1957 vol 572 c587

Mr. Nabarro

I beg to move, in page 2, line 16, to leave out from "use" to first "the" in line 18 and to insert: ,in the construction thereof, of restricted materials otherwise than in such a way as not to enhance the risk of fire's breaking out or spreading therein,". It might, I suggest, be for the convenience of the House if the Amendment in page 2, line 20, were considered in conjunction with this one.

These Amendments are consequential on the replacement of Clause 3 by the new Clause, "Power to make regulations for restricting use of certain materials", which the House voted a few moments ago should be added to the Bill.

Mr. E. Johnson

I beg formally to second the Amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 2, line 20, to leave out from "it" to end of line 23 and insert conform to the prescribed standard either without dependence, either wholly or to a substantial extent, upon the use in the construction thereof of restricted materials or by using them, in the construction thereof, in such a way as not to enhance the risk of fire's breaking out or spreading therein".—[Mr. Nabarro.]
