The Minister, at our meeting yesterday, for which I am deeply grateful, said that the amendment was not necessary as the superior landlord would in any event still be able to obtain possession after four months, come what may. Unfortunately, in many developments, which is what this is all about, there is a real need to regain the whole site with vacant possession on a timely basis. Allowing the assured tenant to remain in the holding after the intermediate landlord has left would slow down the process of regaining vacant possession of the site and might delay or adversely affect the planned development. I beg to move.
