On Question, Bill read 3a.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES (Earl CARRINGTON)

My Lords, I have to ask the House to agree to two formal Amendments suggested by my noble friend, Lord Onslow. The first is in Clause 47, to add, after the words— Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Act, the compensation in respect of an improvement made or begun before the commencement of this Act, or made upon a holding held under a contract of tenancy, the words— Other than a tenancy from year to year. And the second Amendment is to leave out Subsection (2) of Clause 48, namely— (2) The expression 'tenancy current on' a specified date shall include a tenancy from year to year current at that date.

Amendment moved.— In Clause 47, page 21, line 33, after the word 'tenancy,' to insert the words 'other than a tenancy from year to year.'"—(Earl Carrington.)

On Question, Amendment agreed to.

Amendment moved— In Clause 48, page 22, lines 39 and 40, to leave out Subsection (2).—(Earl Carrington.)

On Question, Amendment agreed to.

Bill passed, and sent to the Commons.
