Clause 31, page 29, line 30, at end insert: ("and in the application of subsection (6) of the section of this Act relating to compensation for disturbance the expression 'rent' means the rent after deduction of such an amount as the arbiter, failing agreement, may find to be equivalent to the amount (if any) annually payable by the landlord in respect of the holding by way of—

  1. (a) any public rates, taxes, or assessments which in England are by law a charge on the occupiers of lands; or
  2. (b) any public rates or taxes or other public burdens the like whereof are not chargeable on lands in England.")
