I move amendment No. 74.

In page 83, to delete lines 31 to 33 and substitute the following:“(4) For the purposes of this section the lessee shall, from the date on which the lease is executed, be a farmer who—

(a) is the holder of or, within a period of 4 years from the date of the lease, will be the holder of, a qualification set out in Schedule 2, 2A or 2B to the Act, or
(b) spends not less than 50 per cent of that individual’s normal working time farming land (including the leased land).”.
