KEW GARDENS (LEASES) BILL

House of Commons, 24 March 2017.

Power to grant a lease in respect of land at Kew Gardens

Christopher Chope (Conservative, Christchurch)

I beg to move amendment 1, page 1, line 3, leave out from “land” to end of subsection and insert—

“(a) occupied by a dwelling-house for a period up to 99 years, and

(b) not occupied by a dwelling-house for a period up to 50 years.”

I should like to speak to my amendments in the few seconds that remain, because it is very important that they should be properly articulated in this House.

The debate stood adjourned (Standing Order No. 11(2)).

Bill to be further considered on Friday 12 May.
