(1)Where the landlord of any property is a body to which this section applies, and a Minister of the Crown certifies that the property will in ten years or less be required for relevant development, then—
(a)a notice of a person’s desire to have the freehold or an extended lease under this Part of this Act of a house comprised in the property shall be of no effect;
(b)if the tenancy of any such house has not been extended under this Part of this Act, but the tenant, being entitled to acquire the freehold or an extended lease thereunder, either—
(i)before a copy of the certificate has been served on him, has given notice of his desire to have the freehold or an extended lease; or
(ii)not later than two months after a copy of the certificate is served on him, gives the landlord written notice, in the prescribed form, claiming to be so entitled;

(c)for the purposes of any application by the landlord under section 17 above in relation to property comprised in the certificate (whether the application is made by virtue of paragraph (b) above or otherwise), the certificate shall be conclusive that the ground specified in section 17(1) is established.
(2)Where by virtue of subsection (1)(b) above a tenancy of any property is to be treated as having been extended, then as regards that property the tenancy shall not terminate either by effluxion of time or in pursuance of any notice given by the landlord or the tenant or by the termination of a superior tenancy.

(4)A Minister shall not give a certificate under this section with respect to any house, unless the landlord has given to the tenant of the house written notice stating—
(a)that the question of giving such a certificate is under consideration by that Minister; and
(b)that if within twenty-one days of the giving of the notice the tenant makes to that Minister representations in writing with respect to that question, they will be considered before the question is determined;
