I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Land Conveyancing and Reform Act 2013 to afford greater protection to mortgagors where faced with an order of possession by placing additional obligations on the mortgagee.
This important legislation will assist many people in this State who are affected by the fear of repossession.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
