HC Deb 27 January 1964 vol 688 cc20-1W
79. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will introduce legislation to protect the tenant farmer; and if he will make a statement on the tenant farmer's position where the landlord refuses to extend his tenure.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

Tenant farmers alreadly enjoy a substantial degree of security of tenure under the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1948. In particular any normal tenancy continues indefinitely unless a notice to quit is given for one of seven specified reasons or if confirmed by the Agricultural Land Tribunal. If the hon. Member will let me know of any specific point he has in mind I will gladly arrange for it to be considered.
