§ Any officer or man of His Majesty's Forces who is the tenant of any premises under a tenancy from year to year, or for any longer period, may apply to the county court, or in Scotland the sheriff court, for the district in which he usually resides, or in which such premises are situate, in such manner as may be prescribed by rules or directions under the principal Act, for leave to determine such tenancy, and upon any such application being made, the Court may in its absolute discretion, after considering all the circumstances of the case and the position of all the parties, by order authorise the applicant to determine the tenancy by such notice and upon such conditions as the Court thinks fit, and thereupon such tenancy may, notwithstanding any provision in the tenancy agreement or lease, be determined accordingly.
Mr. DENNISSI beg to move, at the end of the Clause, to add the words,

I will not make any observations, as I understand that the Solicitor-General is prepared to accept the Amendment.
