HL Deb 03 July 1924 vol 58 c208

Page 1, line 24, at end insert ("Provided that in the case of a dwelling-house of which either the tenant or the landlord is an alien who did not serve the British Empire or its Allies in the Great War, if the court is of opinion that equal hardship would be caused to the tenant by granting as to the landlord by refusing to grant an order, the landlord or the tenant, as the case may be, who is a British subject, or, who being an alien, served the British Empire or its Allies in the Great War, shall be preferred by the court ").

The Commons disagree with this Amendment for the following Reason: Because they consider that it would not be in the true interests of British subjects.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

I come to the next Amendment, and, as I said before, I propose that your Lordships do not insist on this Amendment.

Moved, That this House doth not insist on the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
