Would the hon. and learned Gentleman accept, instead of the words "in order to comply," the words "consistently with the provisions of any Statute"? We want to encourage the landlord who goes actually ahead of legal obligations, and does what he believes to be his moral duty, but if you limit it in the words as they appear on the Paper, they do seem to impose some law of compulsion. As the Attorney-General said, by altering the word "requirements" into "provisions," it takes away part of that. It seems to roe my suggestion would remove the whole trouble.
