Part of Housing and Planning Bill — [2nd Allocated Day] – in the House of Commons at 2:45 pm on 12 January 2016.
As I said, we would have liked to remove the chapters on the forced sale of council housing and the mandatory rent rises, but we cannot do so because of time. I therefore wish to withdraw amendment 131, to which we shall no doubt return in the Lords. I will, however, press amendment 142, which seeks to protect security of tenure for council tenants, and in due course my right hon. Friend Sadiq Khan will press amendment 89.
I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
