Mr. King

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may discuss Lords amendments Nos. 126 to 128.

Mr. King

The amendments are needed to bring the clause into line with the amendments made to the Housing Finance Act 1972 by the Housing Act 1980. They remove the old restriction on the UDC's duty to provide rent rebates only to persons who occupy housing revenue account dwellings. They bring the terms of the UDC within the scope of the Housing Aot 1980 in relation to the right to buy in particular.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 126 to 129 agreed to.
