Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Dominic Hannigan (Labour)
I move amendment No. 84:
In page 37, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following subsection:
"(2) This Part also applies with necessary modifications to a dwelling provided by an approved body and constructed prior to the commencement of this Part.".
This is to insert the ability to sell houses held by local voluntary housing agencies in the legislative framework. This applies to existing houses as opposed to new houses. It is to provide tenants of these houses, as well as those of future houses, with the right to buy.
