§ 3.38 p.m.
The Earl of DundeeMy Lords, I beg to move, on behalf of my noble and learned friend the Lord Advocate, that this Bill be now read a second time.
This is a consolidation measure which incorporates amendments to give effect to recommendations of the Scottish Law Commission. It consolidates certain enactments relating to housing in Scotland, and, apart from the amendments which are intended to remove certain minor anomalies in existing law, the Bill makes no change in the existing law. If your Lordships approve, the Bill will be referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills which will consider it and make its report to the House in due course. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That the Bill be now read a second time.—(The Earl of Dundee.)
§ On Question, Bill read a second time, and referred to the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills.
