 Crown, duchy, ecclesiastical, and charity lands, a landlord, 

 whatever may be his estate or interest in his holding, may 

 give any consent, make and vary any agreement, or do or 

 have done to him any act in relation to improvements in 

 respect of which compensation is payable under this Act 

 which he might give or make or do or have done to him if 

 he were in the case of an estate of inheritance owner 

 thereof in fee, and in the case of a leasehold possessed of 

 the whole estate in the leasehold. 



43. When, by any Act of Parliament, deed, or other in- 

 strument, a lease of a holding is authorised to be made, 

 provided that the best rent, or reservation in the nature of 

 rent, is by such lease reserved, then, whenever any lease 

 of a holding is, under such authority, made to the tenant 

 of the same, it shall not be necessary, in estimating such 

 rent or reservation, to take into account against the tenant

 from any improvements made or paid for by him on such 

 holding.

 respect of any such holding, and any agreement in con- 

 travention of this section, whether entered into before or 

 after the passing of this Act, shall be null and void.
