HC Deb 29 July 1958 vol 592 c1180

Lords Amendment agreed to: In page 41, line 24, at end insert— (d) under subsection (4) of section thirty-two of this Act, or".

Lords Amendment: In page 41, line 33, leave out from "Act" to end of line 36 and insert: in respect of a forced sale shall accrue due on the effective date of the sale, or, if that date was before the operative date of the order, shall be treated as having accrued due on the effective date of the sale".

Sir I. Horobin

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

This, again, is an Amendment of which I think both the hon. Member for Lewisham, North (Mr. MacDermot) and ourselves can claim joint paternity. It provides, together with the next Amendment to line 47, that compensation in respect of a forced sale shall accrue due when the transfer of the property actually takes place. I think that both sides of the House will agree that this is an improvement.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to: In page 41, line 47, at end, insert: (9) In this section 'quarterly payments' means payments calculated by reference to the usual quarter days and 'effective date', in relation to a sale, means the date on which the property sold, becomes the property of the purchaser.
