§ BARONESS SUMMERSKILLMy Lords, Clause 2(4) provides that where the matrimonial home is held under a lease the charge for which Clause 2 provides cannot be lost by the surrender of the lease to the freeholder. Amendment No. 13 has the effect of making the charge on the freehold last only so long as the lessee's interest would have lasted if it had not been surrendered. Amendment No. 14 is consequential upon the previous Amendment. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendments.—(Baroness Summerskill.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
