§ Lord Merlyn-ReesMy Lords, I beg to introduce a Bill to amend the Housing Act 1985 so as to add the criteria of internal arrangement and thermal efficiency to the fitness standard; to provide for the enforcement of the fitness standard where only part of a unit of accommodation fails that standard; and for connected purposes. I beg to move that the Bill be now read a first time.
