I move amendment No. 14:


In page 39, to delete lines 22 and 23.
This amendment is to section 25(2) and deletes the requirement that a tenant purchaser of an existing local authority house will, during the period of the incremental purchase of the property, have to obtain the prior written consent of the housing authority to carry out material improvements to the house. This will make it easier for purchasers to improve their homes, with consequent benefits for the construction sector generally.
