Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
11:00 am
Ivana Bacik (Independent)
I move amendment No. 33:
In page 17, subsection (4)(e), line 27, after "alternative" to insert "and appropriate".
The purpose of the amendment is to ensure "appropriate" is inserted after the word "alternative" to ensure accommodation would be not only alternative but appropriate to the household. It is not a large amendment, but it is sensible to make the provision to ensure accommodation is specifically appropriate to the needs of the household. It is a qualification of the existing word, but it does not change in any way the thrust of the section.
