§ Page 54, line 41, leave out ("or for laying out as an open space")
§ The Commons agree to the above Amendment and propose the following consequential Amendment to the Bill:
§ Page 5, line 27, leave out ("or the laying out of open spaces")
§ LORD PARMOORMy Lords, this is a consequential Amendment, which is, of course, agreed upon. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Parmoor.)
1140§ appears that the effect depends upon the definition of "disrepair," and therefore it is very material to know what the definition of "disrepair" is. Many of us would say that whatever the by-law might say, the house would not really be unfit for human habitation, but if you say it is unfit because it is in disrepair, and "disrepair" includes want of paper and proper paint, then you have a sort of artificial provision that "unfit for human habitation" does turn upon the fact whether the house is properly painted and papered. That is what we wish to avoid, and it appears necessary to say exactly what "disrepair" does mean.
§ LORD PARMOORI will not speak again upon it, but of course you know I do not agree.
§ On Question, Whether this House shall insist on the said Amendments?
§ Their Lordships divided:-Contents, 34; Not Contents, 14.
