HC Deb 11 March 1959 vol 601 cc1313-7

(1) During a period of fifteen years after the making of a standard grant under this part of this Act to a person in respect of a dwelling, section three of the Act of 1950 (which prescribes conditions to be implied on certain lettings of houses) shall apply to any contract for letting that dwelling or any Dart thereof, being a letting by that person, his successor in title or a person deriving title from the first-named person or his successor, as that section applies to the contracts mentioned in its subsection (1).

(2) Where under a contract of employment of a workman employed in agriculture the provision of a dwelling for his occupation forms part of his remuneration, and the provisions of the last foregoing subsection are inapplicable by reason only of the dwelling

not being let to him, section four of the Act of 1950 (which applies section three of the said Act to houses occupied by workmen engaged in agriculture) shall have effect in relation to that dwelling and to the provisions of the last foregoing subsection as it has effect in relation to such a house as is mentioned in that section and to the provisions of the said section three of that Act.—[Miss Herbison.]
