HC Deb 24 October 1967 vol 751 cc1626-7

Lords Amendment agreed to.

Lords Amendment No. 55: In page 77, line 2, leave out "by reason" and insert "under or in respect".

Mr. MacDermot

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

This is a drafting Amendment to meet a point raised by the Law Society.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment No. 56: In page 77, line 4, leave out from "sale" to "shall" in line 6 and insert: and compensation is paid in respect of it in accordance with section 17 or 18 of this Act (whether possession is obtained under that section or without any application for possession), the sum received".

Mr. MacDermot

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

Mr. Speaker

I understand that with this we are to discuss Lords Amendments No. 57 and No. 58.

Mr. MacDermot

These, again, are little more than drafting Amendments to meet points raised by the Law Society.

Mr. Graham Page

On several occasions the hon. and learned Gentleman has said that Amendments have been inserted to satisfy points raised by the Law Society. As a member of that Society, I thank him for giving attention to the representations made by that source. I am glad that they have been useful and constructively useful in the framing of the Bill.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendments agreed to.
