HC Deb 26 May 1950 vol 475 c295W
Mr. Granville

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that Mr. H. A. Hurren of Dunningworth Hall Farm, Tunstall, Suffolk, is under notice to quit, after having successfully farmed the land for a number of years; and if he will withhold approval of eviction of Mr. Hurren so long as the holding is farmed efficiently by him.

Mr. T. Williams

Mr. Hurren is not under notice to quit. As I have explained in reply to a letter from the hon. Member, the landlord has applied for my prior consent, under the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1948, to notices to quit which he proposes to serve on Mr. Hurren. The applications are being considered and my decision will be communicated to the parties. It will be open to the dissatisfied party, whether landlord or tenant, to appeal against my decision to the Agricultural Land Tribunal.
