§ Queen's Recommendation having been signified—
§ Resolved,
§ That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to give security of tenure, and the right to buy their homes, to tenants of local authorities and other bodies; to make other provision with respect to those and other tenants; to restrict the discretion of the court in making orders for the possession of land and to amend the law about housing finance in the public sector, it is expedient to authorise—
- (a) payments out of money provided by Parliament under schemes for contributions (not exceeding £5,000, or such greater amount as may be provided by order, for any one
1888 dwelling) towards the net cost to local authorities of disposing of dwellings after carrying out works of repair, improvement or conversion; - (b) any increase in the sums payable out of money provided by Parliament under section 29 of the Housing Act 1974 attributable to provisions enabling housing association grants under that section (of an amount not exceeding £5,000, or such greater amount as may be provided by order, for any one dwelling) to be paid to housing associations registered under section 13 of that Act in cases where an association disposes of dwellings after carrying out works of repair, improvement or conversion;
- (c) any increase in the sums payable in any one year out of money provided by Parliament which is attributable to the commutation of transitional town development subsidy payable under section 5 of the Housing Rent and Subsidies Act 1975; and
- (d) any increase in the sums payable out of money provided by Parliament under the Rent Act 1977 attributable to provision for the payment of pensions, allowances or gratuities to or in respect of any person nominated to act as president or vice-president of a panel formed under Schedule 10 to that Act in respect of rent assessment committees."—[Mr. MacGregor.]
