HL Deb 20 July 1971 vol 322 c855

[Nos. 2 and 3]

Clause 9, page 7, leave out from beginning of line 36 to end of line 5 on page 8, and insert—

Exclusion of certain land charges created by instruments necessitating registration under Land Registration Act 1925. 23A. Where an instrument executed after the passing of the Land Registration and Land Charges Act 1971 conveys, grants or assigns an estate in land and creates a land charge (other than a local land charge) affecting that estate, this Act shall not apply to the land charge, so far as it effects that estate, if under section 123 of the Land Registration Act 1925 (effect of that Act in areas where registration is compulsory) the instrument will, unless the necessary application for registration under that Act is made within the time allowed by or under that section, become void so far as respects the conveyance, grant or assginment of that estate. Page 8, line 10, leave out "non-local".

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, Amendments No. 2 and 3 are also technical. They are designed to preserve the application of the Land Charges Act 1925 to land charges imposed on land already owned by someone purchasing land due to be registered for the first time. This is a purely technical Amendment designed to save what might otherwise have been a void in the Bill. I beg to move.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Common's in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
