HC Deb 31 July 1975 vol 896 c591W
55. Dr. Phipps

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will examine the problems faced by tenant farmers subject to rent reviews resulting in rents of £25 per acre and above; and whether he will provide special assistance for them.

Mr. Strang

Rents are entirely a matter between landlord and tenant with recourse to arbitration in the event of a disagreement. I have no powers to assist with the payment of rents.
