HC Deb 16 March 1973 vol 852 cc462-3W
Mr. Hicks

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will clarify the position in respect of agricultural rents and leases involving farms and agricultural land which are due for review either at the end of the freeze period or during the course of phase 2 of the Government's anti-inflation policy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Under the Counter-Inflation (Agricultural Rents) Order 1972 (S.I., 1972. No. 1849) agricultural rents in Great Britain are frozen for the period of the standstill at the level which applied on 5th November 1972. Increases in rent in return for new improvements carried out by the landlord are not affected.

The order does not interfere with rent reviews and other regular procedures for negotiation and arbitration of new increases in rent, but landlords are required for the period of the standstill to forgo
