Having reflected on our position, the Government have tabled amendments in lieu that narrowly expand ground 5A to allow agricultural landlords to evict assured tenants in order to house both employees and non-employed workers engaged in agriculture. We believe this small technical change will support the Government’s clear intention of ensuring that the agricultural sector can continue to function effectively without compromising wider security of tenure, and I am pleased that both Lord Carrington and the National Farmers Union have indicated their support for these changes.
