§ Mr. MacCollI beg to move Amendment No. 101, in page 26, line 41, at the end to add:
(3) In this section references to an insurance company shall be construed as including references to a recognised housing society as defined by paragraph 10 of Schedule 4 to the Building Societies Act 1962.This is an Amendment which, on the face of it, does not seem to mean very much. In fact it introduces the concept of the recognised housing society which is defined in the Building Societies Act, 1962.The only point of interest about it is that there is only one of these and it happens to be the Civil Service Housing Association. This is not being done merely to give privileges to the Civil Service Housing Association, worthy though it is and worthy though the people are who use it, but it happens to be, as far as we know, the only body which comes within the terms of the definition and that is why we are taking this special step.
§ Mr. ChannonI am sure that we have no objection to the Amendment. I am sure that anything that we can do to encourage not only the Civil Service Housing Association, but any others, is to be welcomed.
§ Amendment agreed to.
