HC Deb 26 June 1969 vol 785 cc1867-8
Mr. MacColl

I beg to move Amendment No. 136, in page 58, line 6, after 'Schedule', insert— 'as an amount fairly attributable to the provision of services'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we are also to take Amendment No. 137.

Mr. MacColl

These Amendments are designed to make an application for a certificate of fair rent and registration of a fair rent more understandable to both the landlord and the tenant, and they should therefore commend themselves to the House.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 137, in page 58, line 7, after 'and', insert— 'any such amount and any amount to be so noted as an amount apportioned or to be apportioned to the services shall be included'.—[Mr. MacColl.]

Mr. MacColl

I beg to move Amendment No. 138, in page 58, line 11, at end insert— 13. Where a rent designated or determined by a rent assessment committee is registered in substitution for a rent determined by the rent officer, the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall have effect as if only the rent designated or determined by the rent assessment committee had been registered; but the date of registration shall be deemed for the purposes of this Schedule (but not for the purposes of section 22(3) of the Rent Act 1968) to be the date on which the rent determined by the rent officer was registered. In Committee, I explained that the Government would later move an Amendment to deal with the position under the phasing scheme where a fair rent determined by a rent officer was superseded by another determined by the rent assessment committee. The Amendment is to meet that.

Amendment agreed to.
