I move amendment No. 22 :—
To delete paragraph (c).
I put down this amendment to direct attention to one matter which arises in paragraph (c). It seemed to me that, if elaborate alterations and repairs were necessary, to override the covenants of an agreement entered into between the tenant and the landlord by statute was a rather drastic proceeding. I wondered if it is the intention of the Minister to provide by the Bill that, where a man had covenanted not to do certain things with premises which he held on lease, he should be absolved from these covenants by this Bill. Does he think that equitable from the landlord's point of view ?
