Mr Derek Conway (Old Bexley and Sidcup, Conservative)
With this it will be convenient to discuss the following amendments:
No. 191, in
clause 12, page 9, line 44, at end add—
'(6) An improvement notice shall be suspended where the occupier of the premises impedes or obstructs a landlord from complying with the notice. Such suspension shall continue until the tenant allows the necessary work to proceed unimpeded or the landlord acquires vacant possession.
(7) An improvement notice shall be suspended where following the service of the notice, the landlord has put in hand measures to cause the property to revert to single household occupancy'.
No. 192, in
clause 13, page 10, line 32, at end add—
'(9) An improvement notice shall be revoked in all cases where the HMO, in respect of which the notice was served, has reverted to single household occupancy'.
