§ Mr. AncramI beg to move amendment No. 3, in page 3, line 11, at end insert—
'(3) The amendments made by subsections (1) and (2) above shall have no effect as regards any application to purchase where the offer to sell was served in accordance with section 2(2) of the 1980 Act (whether by the landlord or, under section 7(3)(a) of that Act, by the Lands Tribunal for Scotland) before the date of commencement of this Act. '.406 This fairly simple technical amendment provides for transitional provisions to coverclause 2, on the same basis as most now approved for clause 1. That is, a tenant who has submitted an application to purchase at the time that the Bill takes effect but has not received an offer to sell shall—if he stands to benefit from the provisions of clause 2—be entitled to an offer on the basis of the law as amended; and a tenant who has received an offer to sell on the old basis but not yet accepted it will be entitled to withdraw his application and submit a fresh one to take advantage of the changes in the Bill.
§ Amendment agreed to.
