I move amendment No. 3:

In page 18, lines 26 and 27, to delete "but a date so specified shall not be in respect of a date that is more than 6 months" and substitute "but the date so specified shall not be more than 6 months".

This is a technical amendment to improve the readability of subsection (9) of section 13. Subsection (9) relates to a possession order in respect of a local authority dwelling, in respect of which there is no tenancy or it has been abandoned and is occupied by an illegal occupier, and provides the housing authority with the right to repossess the dwelling within six months of the date of the order. The amendment seeks only to make the subsection more readable rather than make any substantial change to it.
