The CLA (Country Land and Business Association) has commented on Defra’s announcement of Alan Laidlaw as the first Commissioner for Tenant Farming Sector today.
Country Land and Business Association (CLA) President Victoria Vyvyan said: “The CLA supports a vibrant tenanted sector and we welcome Alan Laidlaw into the role of Commissioner for the Tenant Farming Sector.
“It is crucial for the healthy future of the farm tenancy sector that the commissioner works independently, and is fair and balanced for landlords, agents and tenants. The role must have the resources to properly assess any cases that reach them. The Farm Tenancy Forum has done much to bring landlords and tenants to a better understanding and way of working, and we look forward to working with the commissioner in continuing this progress.”
