I beg to move in page 16, line 14, to leave out "or".
This and the next Amendment, in page 16, line 16, may be taken together.
We are now turning our attention to the house which is defective in respect of one or other of the works set out on page 16. The Royal Society of Health has suggested to my right hon. Friend that this list would be improved if it included a reference to space heating or space heating appliances. My right hon. Friend thought this was a sensible and constructive suggestion, and that is the purpose behind this Amendment. It covers both installations for space heating, that is to say, permanent fixed installations, and equipment for use with space heating appliances, which is really the electric plugs and the like so as to permit a tenant, perhaps, to bring in his own space heating appliances and find equipment ready to be attached to them. I hope that the Committee will accept both Amendments.

These seem very sensible Amendments. Speaking for myself and, I think, for my hon. Friends, we shall be happy to accept them, in the hope that before long the Minister will return the compliment and accept one of ours.
Amendment agreed to.
Further Amendment made: In page 16, line 16, at end insert:
"or installations for space heating or for the use of space heating appliances".—[Sir K. Joseph.]
Clause, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
