§
In page 16, line 35, at the end, insert:
(i) in Sub-section (1) the proviso were omitted;
(ii) for Sub-section (2) the following Subsection were substituted—
- '(2) Where any directions under Defence Regulations have been given to the tenant of an agricultural holding affecting during the last twelve months of the tenancy the cultivation, management, or use of the holding, the tenant shall on the termination of his tenancy be entitled in respect of any tillages or manuring carried out for the purpose of complying with the directions otherwise than in accordance with the lease or the custom of the country or to an extent exceeding that provided by the lease or custom to such sum by way of compensation as fairly represents the value thereof or, as the case may be, of the excess part thereof to an incoming tenant; and any growing crops sown, as a result of compliance with directions given under Defence Regulations, otherwise than in accordance with the lease or the custom of the country or to an extent exceeding that provided by the lease or custom shall pass to and become the property of the landlord, and the landlord shall pay to the tenant in respect thereof such compensation for the tenant's services and expenses in laying down the crop or, as the the case may be, the excess part thereof, as may be determined by arbitration'."
§
The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. Allan Chapman)
I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
The Amendment is for the purpose of applying Sub-sections (1) and (2) of Clause 15 to Scotland and is designed to bring them into harmony with the law and practice in Scotland. As Sub-sections (1) and (2) stand at present they cannot be successfully operated.
§
Question put, and agreed to.

Remaining Lords Amendments agreed to.
