I move amendment No. 85:

In page 55, line 32, after "authority" to insert "or approved body, as the case may be,".

The Bill provides that housing authorities and approved bodies may make dwellings available for sale under incremental purchase arrangements. Under arrangements for the resale of such dwellings the Bill provides that where a vendor does not agree with the market value as determined by the housing authority or the approved body, the vendor may seek an independent valuation from a panel of valuers. As it stands, the Bill provides that a housing authority is not liable for the expense incurred by the vendor engaging an independent valuer. Provision is now being made to ensure that the approved bodies in a similar way will not be liable for such expense either.
