§ Lords amendment: No. 122 in page 82, line 37, at end insert "any of paragraphs 2 to 7 of"
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
This is a minor amendment, which means that the Housing Corporation's consent will be required before a registered housing association can grant a long lease of a dwelling in Scotland. The bill already requires the corporation's consent to be obtained for such disposals in England and Wales. The Government have decided that it would be sensible to put the disposals on the same footing whether they take place north or south of the border.
§ Question put and agreed to.
