I cannot advise the Committee to accept this new Clause. This is a difficult problem. I understand—I have taken advice because I have not much experience of it myself—that the present mortgage restriction arrangements under the existing Acts are satisfactory. They are necessary because rents are paid. But under the Bill the court can take into account a burden of this kind in fixing rent or mesne profits.

We think that the smooth way of doing what is required is not to introduce further regulation of this kind but, rather, to leave it as one of the circumstances which a sensible judge would take into account when deciding what terms to arrange.
