§ 28. Mr. Benyonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what he anticipates will be a typical rent which will be charged by farmers for their agricultural cottages subsequent to the coming into force of the Rent (Agriculture) Act.
§ Mr. StrangI assume the hon. Member is referring to cottages occupied by serving farmworkers, in which event the charge, if any, normally takes the form of a deduction from wages within statutory limits deriving from agricultural wages legislation.
The Rent (Agriculture) Act does not disturb these arrangements and any individual adjustment remains a matter between the farmer and the worker concerned.
