Lords Amendment: No. 84, in page 43, line 11, after "sixty" insert:
on the date there mentioned".
§ Mr. Graham PageI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
It may be convenient to take with this the following Lords Amendments:
No. 85, in page 43, line 13, after "age" insert "on that date".
No. 86, in line 14, after "age" insert "on that date".
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerSo be it.
§ Mr. Graham PageSubsection (6) provides, inter alia, that in the case of a trade or business carried on by a company, the company may benefit from the clause if each shareholder, other than a minority shareholder, is an individual who has attained the age of 60 years and if each minority shareholder has either attained that age or is the spouse of a shareholder who has attained that age.
As drafted, the subsection did not provide any reference to a date by which the age of 60 has to be attained. The amendments achieve that by requiring that the age of 60 has to be attained by the date on which possession is given up to the acquiring authority.

Lords Amendment: No. 87, in page 43, line 23, leave out "subsection (4)(b) of section 34" and insert

§ Mr. Graham PageI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerWe are taking at the same time Lords Amendments Nos. 88 and 89. Lords Amendment No. 89 is the one for discussion.
§ Mr. PageYes, Mr. Deputy Speaker. This is a case which was raised particularly by the right hon. Member for Sheffield, Park (Mr. Mulley). Clause 42 deals with compensation payable on compulsory acquisition in the case of short business tenancies, which included the tenant's right to apply for a new tenancy; but where the acquiring authority has become the landlord at the time when possession is taken from the tenant it could, without this amendment, defeat any claim by the tenant for a new lease. If the landlords determine the tenancy, the right to apply for a new tenancy will still be taken into account if the House accepts the amendment.
