Lords Amendment: In page 6, line 44, after "grazing" insert:
or of keeping in his own occupation.
§ Mr. T. FraserI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment.
As originally drafted, this Clause provided that compensation for disturbance should not be payable in the case of permanent pasture which the landlord has been in the habit of letting annually for seasonal grazing and which has been let to a tenant for a limited period in order that he may put it through a cropping rotation before sowing it back to grass. There is, in principle, no difference between permanent pasture which a landlord has let annually for seasonal grazing and permanent pasture which he has retained in his own hands for grazing purposes. In both cases, the subsequent lets for a rotation of cropping are made in identical circumstances. The effect of the Amendment is to treat both cases on all-fours as regards compensation for disturbance.
§ Mr. Snadden (Perth and Kinross, Western)Does this cover the case of a landlord who might have let his parks for cropping because he had no implements? Does it bring such land into the same category as land let for grazing?
§ Mr. FraserYes, that is so.
§ Lords Amendment: In page 7, line 5, leave out "six" and insert "nine."
§ Mr. T. FraserI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This is an Amendment to bring the period of six months stipulated in Clause 5 (7) into line with the period of nine months stipulated in Clause 5 (1, a).
