HC Deb 23 August 1909 vol 9 cc1843-7

(1) No advance exceeding the sum of three thousand pounds shall be sanctioned under the Land Purchase Acts to any tenant for the purchase of a holding unless he resides on the holding, and the Land Commission consider that an advance of a larger amount not exceeding five thousand pounds may properly be sanctioned.

(2) A person shall be deemed to reside on a holding within the meaning of this Section if he occupies a house in the immediate neighbourhood for the purpose of working or managing the holding.

(3) Section two of the Purchase of Land (Ireland) Amendment Act, 1888, and Subsection (4) of Section one of the Act of 1903, shall cease to have effect save as

regards advances in pursuance of purchase agreements entered into before the passing of this Act.

Mr. BIRRELL moved, after the word "tenant" ["shall be sanctioned under the Land Purchase Acts to any tenant"] to insert the words "in pursuance of an agreement."

Amendment agreed to.

Mr. BIRRELL moved, after the word "holding" ["for the purchase of a holding"], to insert the words "entered into-after the passing of this Act."

Question put, "That the Amendment be made."

The Committee divided: Ayes, 179; Noes, 30.
