§ Mr. RifkindThe effect of these amendments is to extend the special provisions in the Bill which deal with the circumstances of tenants who are decanted as a result of works to their homes.

If the tenant has been decanted, presumably there were reasonable grounds for this action and it seems appropriate that the provision should apply to him.
