HC Deb 01 November 1965 vol 718 cc833-4

Lords Amendment No. 48: In page 46, line 26, column 3, at end insert "Section 13(2)."

Mr. MacColl

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

I think it would be convenient to consider with this one the next Lords Amendment, in page 46, line 41, after "6" insert: in paragraph 8(3) the words 'or subsection (3)'". The two Lords Amendments deal with consequential changes resulting from changes which were made in the Bill in this House when Section 11(3) of the 1957 Act was repealed. The first repeals Section 13(2) which deals with premiums. The second deletes the reference to Section 11(3) in the Sixth Schedule. They are consequential drafting Amendments.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.

Lords Amendment No. 50: In page 46, line 45, at end insert:

"1964 c. 56. The-Housing Act 1964. In section 72, subsection (3), in subsection (4) the words 'and (3)', subsections (5)' and (6); and, in paragraph (d) of subsection (7), the words '(3)' the words 'and (5)', the words from '(3) Subject' to 'both' and the words 'and (3)'"

Mr. MacColl

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

This is an Amendment of the Housing Act, 1964, as a result of this Bill, because Section 72 of that Act made it a criminal offence for a landlord to evict a tenant without a court order where the local authority had tried to get a C.P.O. These points are covered in the Bill.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment No. 51: In page 47, leave out lines 42 and 43.

Mr. MacColl

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

This, and the last Lords Amendment, in page 47, line 51, at end add:

"1965 c. 59. The New Towns Act 1965. Section 22(4)."
which it would be convenient to discuss at the same time, are references to consolidation. There is now the New Towns Act, 1965, and they are consequential on that legislation.

Question put and agreed to.

Remaining Lords Amendment agreed to.

Committee appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of their Amendments to the Bill: Mr. Boyd-Carpenter, Mr. Richard Crossman, Dr. Dickson Mabon, Mr. Geoffrey Rhodes, and Mrs. Margaret Thatcher; Three to be the quorum.—[Mr. Crossman.]

To withdraw immediately.

Reasons for disagreeing to certain of the Lords Amendments reported and agreed to; To be communicated to the Lords.
