§ Clause 27, lines 38 and 39, leave out ("thirtieth day of September, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven") and insert ("twenty-sixth day of March, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight").
§ The Commons agree to this Amendment with the substitution of ("twenty-fifth") for ("twenty-sixth").
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment. It is a very slight Amendment. The clause provides, in subsection (2), that
This Act shall come into operation on the twenty-sixth day of March, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight.It was pointed out in the Commons that as the Bill stands a tenant whose tenancy expired on March 25 might be unable to give a notice of his claim within a year, being the maximum allowed under Clause 4 of the Bill. Accordingly, the Commons desire to insert March 25 instead of March 26.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
§ A Committee appointed to prepare a Reason for the Lords disagreeing with one of the Commons Amendments.
§ Report received from the Committee of the reason to be offered the Commons; and a Message ordered to be sent to the Commons, returning the Bill, and acquainting them that the Lords disagree with the Commons Amendment because the effect would be to prevent a tenant whose tenancy is terminated by notice applying for the grant of a new lease until after the termination of his tenancy.
