§ Where a tenancy has been terminated before the commencement of this Act, and the tenant proves to the satisfaction of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries that he has incurred any loss or expense for Which he would have been entitled to compensation under the foregoing section of this Act if the tenancy had terminated 2075 after the commencement of this Act, the Board may, out of the small holdings account, pay to the tenant such compensation for such loss or expense as they think just: Provided that no compensation under this section shall be payable if the claim for compensation is not made before the first day of September, nineteen hundred and ten.
§ Lords Amendment: In last line of Clause, "Leave out the word 'September' and insert instead thereof the word 'November,' "read a second time.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House doth disagree with the Lords in the said Amendment."—[Mr. Hobhouse.]
§ Mr. WINFREYI would ask the Government to accept the Amendment of the House of Lords. On this occasion I think that the House of Lords are right. If you are going to give compensation to the farmers who give up their lands for small holdings you might give them another month in which to send in their claim. I think it would be ungracious not to give them this further concession.
§ Lord HUGH CECILI object to further Proceeding. We must not take disagreements with the other House after Eleven o'clock.
And it being after Eleven of the clock, and objection being taken to further Proceedings, the Debate stood adjourned.
Debate to be resumed to-morrow (Wednesday.)
