§ 6 Clause 3, page 7, line 19, leave out from ("tenancy") to ("and") in line 20 and insert ("and derived (whether immediately or otherwise) from the interest from which that tenancy was derived").
§ Lord BelsteadMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 6. With the leave of the House, I will speak also to Amendments Nos. 21, 22, 23, 50, 51, 52 and 53. Amendments Nos. 6 and 50 provide parallel provisions in Clause 3 and Schedule 2 preventing a successor's position being weakened by the creation of a reversionary tenancy by the landlord which, on the death of the original tenant, comes between the freehold and the successor's new tenancy so as to make that tenant a sub-tenant.
Amendments Nos. 21, 22, 23, 51, 52 and 53 provide for the Agricultural Land Tribunal automatically to specify a new relevant time of up to three months where the direction is given after the original "relevant time". The definition of "prescribed period" is also amended to ensure a sufficient interval from the giving of the direction to allow a notice to be served demanding arbitration.
§ Moved. That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said amendment.—(Lord Belstead)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
