I move amendment No. 54:


In page 19, after line 39, to insert the following new section:45.—Section 6 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1992 is amended in subsection (2) by inserting the following paragraph after paragraph (e):
"(ea) by letting a house (including a house provided under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000) to another housing authority referred to in subsection (1)(a) or a body referred to in subsection (1)(b);".".
Amendment No. 54 is a technical amendment to section 6(2) of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1992 to clarify that a housing authority may give assistance to an approved housing body under that section by letting a house to that approved housing body. It is the advice of the Attorney General that we should insert this provision for certainty.
