Former MP for Worcester
On a point of Order, I submit that the first line of Sub-section (2) clearly shows that the matter is in the discretion of the Court. It does not necessarily follow that it must be referred by the Court. My hon. Friend's Amendment means that the Court shall have liberty to send the matter to the reference committee if the landlord or tenant asks. It is only a question of putting the tenant in...
I only rise as one not acquainted with the practice of the House to offer a protest against any agreement being carried through without the Members of the Committee being consulted. I did not sit on the Committee on behalf of any association, but for my constituency.

I hope the Government will accept this as it is a drafting Amendment that will...
Will the right hon. Gentleman seriously consider the desirability of consulting the insurance committees throughout the country on that matter, as representative bodies?
