HC Deb 16 December 1966 vol 738 c173W
Mr. Hattersley

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources if he is aware that Midlands property companies are inserting, in house purchase agreements, clauses as a result of which prospective owner-occupiers undertake to abandon any rights they may receive from the Government's proposals for leasehold enfranchisement; and if he will take steps, by legislation or otherwise, to curtail this practice.

Mr. Willey

Yes; the Bill will include provision to override such attempts at contracting out of its provisions.
