HL Deb 11 July 1990 vol 521 c282

2 After Clause 2, insert the following new clause:

("Housing benefit: disabled students

. The following paragraph is inserted at the end of section 20(7) of the 1986 Act— (d) he is a disabled person and he is following a course of higher education and he fulfils the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (c) of this subsection;".")

The Commons disagreed to the above amendment for the following reason—

2A Because it would affect charges on public funds; and the Commons do not offer any further reason, trusting that this reason may be deemed sufficient.

Lord Henley

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do not insist on their Amendment No. 2 to which the Commons have disagreed for the reason numbered 2A.

Moved, That the House do not insist on their Amendment No. 2 to which the Commons have disagreed for the reason numbered 2A.—(Lord Henley.)
