Whereas by a lease dated the ninth day of January, nineteen hundred and fifty-eight (hereafter in this Act referred to as “the lease”) the Right Honourable Giles Stephen Holland, Earl of Ilchester, demised to the Minister of Works certain land in the Royal Borough of Kensington (which is more particularly described in the First Schedule to this Act) for a term of nine hundred and ninety-nine years from the first day of August, nineteen hundred and fifty-seven, in consideration of the payment of a premium of two hundred and fifteen thousand pounds and the reservation of a rent of ten pounds a year:
And whereas the grant to the said Minister was made, in the contemplation of the parties to the lease, with a view to the transfer by this Act from that Minister to the Trustees of his interest in the premises demised by the lease, to the intent that the Trustees should erect thereon a building (in this section referred to as “the new building”) in substitution for the Imperial Institute Building, and accordingly by the lease that Minister covenanted to erect such a building:
Now, therefore:—
(1)on the passing of this Act, the premises demised by the lease shall vest in the Trustees for the unexpired residue of the term created thereby and thereupon the Minister of Works shall stand discharged from all obligations imposed on him by or by virtue of the lease;
(2)the new building shall be erected in accordance with plans and specifications approved by [F1the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs] and have floor space of an area of approximately one hundred and twenty-five thousand square feet;
(3)the premises demised by the lease (including the new building and any building erected in substitution therefor) shall be under the management of [F1the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs].
