Thanks

CAP 413 has a pretty good explanation of the "Land After" procedure:

"A landing aircraft may be permitted to touch down before a preceding landing aircraft which has landed is clear of the runway provided that:

a) the runway is long enough to allow safe separation between the two aircraft and there is no evidence to indicate that braking may be adversely affected;

b) it is during daylight hours;

c) the controller is satisfied that the landing aircraft will be able to see the preceding aircraft which has landed, clearly and continuously, until it is clear of the runway; and

d) the pilot of the following aircraft is warned. (Responsibility for ensuring adequate separation rests with the pilot of the following aircraft.)"

The full CAP 413 is available here (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP413.pdf)
