HC Deb 12 April 1984 vol 58 c627

Lords amendment: No. 192, in page 84, line 4, at end insert or, where the right is that mentioned in section 1(1)(b) above, twelve weeks".

(1A) In subsection (2) of that section for the words "section 7(5)" there shall be substituted the words "section 7(1)" and for the words "section 7(2) or (4)" there shall be substituted the words "section 7(1A), (2) or (4)."."

Sir George Young

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

In a nutshell, the amendment gives slightly more time to local authorities to respond to right-to-buy applications when flats are involved. If the House wishes I can explain that in slightly more detail but I take it that the explanation that I have given is sufficient.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 193 to 215, 216 with amendments, and 217 agreed to. Committee appointed to draw up a Reason to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to one of their amendments to the Bill: Mr. John Fraser, Mr. Ian Gow, Mr. Eric S. Heffer, Mr. John Major and Mr. Wyn Roberts; Three to be the quorum.—[Mr.Gow.]

To withdraw immediately.

Reason for disagreeing to one of the Lords amendments reported, and agreed to; to be communicated to the Lords.
