HC Deb 06 August 1980 vol 990 c651

Lords amendment: No. 131, in page 88, line 11, after "Act" insert or, as the case may be, section 208(1) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1966".

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

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

This amendment inserts the Scottish definition of a housing association into this clause, which is the interpretation clause of part VIII. The definition is almost identical to that for England and Wales, which appears in the clause.

Since most of part VIII applies to Scotland, it is clearly necessary to include the Scottish definition. I hope that the House will accept it.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 132 and 133 agreed to.
