HC Deb 27 July 1977 vol 936 c647

Lords amendment: No. 1, in page 1, line 6, at end insert which are specified in the Schedule to this Act and

Mr. Speaker

With this may we take Lords Amendment No. 7.

4.10 p.m.

The Minister fox Housing and Construction (Mr. Reginald Freeson)

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

Mr. Michael Morris (Northampton, South)

We very much welcome the Government's acceptance of the amendment. This is a short Bill, but even with only two clauses it is very comprehensive. I think that when my noble Friend Lord Sandys moved the amendment he did so in recognition of the criticisms of the Renton Committee. At long last somebody is acting on criticisms made by a Committee of this House. I am glad that the Government are acquiescing in this matter.

Question put and agreed to.
