HC Deb 11 May 1983 vol 42 cc883-4
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I beg to move amendment No. 8, in page 27, line 35, at end insert 'but the creation of such a charge shall not sever the joint tenancy'.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we shall take Government amendment No. 9.

Mr. Clarke

These are two technical amendments which make clearer and fairer the provisions when a joint tenancy is made subject to a charge by a local authority.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: No. 9, in page 27, line 43, leave out 'the charge' and insert 'a charge for an amount not exceeding the amount of the charge to which the interest of the deceased joint tenant was subject by virtue of subsection (5) above'.—[Mr. Kenneth Clarke.]
