DEFENCE OF THE REALM (ACQUISITION OF LAND) ACT 1920 - SECT 2

Provisions as to rights of pre-emption.

2.(1) The right of pre-emption conferred by section five of the principal Act
on any person other than a person entitled to the lands from which the land
proposed to be sold was originally severed shall cease to have effect....

(2) Where the land from which land acquired under the principal Act was
severed is settled land within the meaning of the Settled Land Acts, 1882 to
1890, the tenant for life, or person having the powers of a tenant for life
under those Acts with respect to that land, shall, for the purposes of section
five of the principal Act and this section, be deemed to be, and always to
have been, the person entitled to the settled land.

(3) The person by whom the right of pre-emption conferred by the said section
five as amended by this section is or would for the time being be exerciseable
in respect of any land if a Government department were offering that land for
sale shall have power at any time to release that right so as to discharge in
perpetuity the land or any part thereof to which the release relates, from all
such right of pre-emption.
