HL Deb 16 November 2004 vol 666 c1365

55 Clause 96, page 66, line 26, at end insert—

"(9) In this Chapter "third party", in relation to a house, means any person who has an estate or interest in the house (other than an immediate landlord and any person who is a tenant under a lease or licence granted under section 102(3)(c) or 110(3)(c))."

The Commons agree to this amendment with the following amendment—

55A Line 4, leave out "or licence"

Lord Rooker

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 55A to Lords Amendment No. 55.

This amendment, like another amendment in the group, is an incredibly minor, technical change made in the other place to amendments made to the Bill in this House. It simply clarifies the provision from a legal perspective by deleting the words "or licence" in the context of the Lords amendments which defined third parties. If it were left in the Bill, it would be completely misleading.

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 55A to Lords Amendment No. 55.—(Lord Rooker.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
