Tenant Farmers Commissioner
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to ensure that the Tenant Farmers Commissioner has adequate powers to help tackle tenancy disputes.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
As a non-statutory role, the Commissioner will promote and encourage good relations between tenants, landlords, and advisors, and provide a neutral and confidential point of contact for anyone who has concerns that the Agricultural Landlord and Tenant Code of Practice for England is not being followed. Where concerns or issues cannot be resolved the Commissioner will signpost sources of further professional advice as appropriate. The Government is committed to keeping the effectiveness of this approach under review.
