HC Deb 06 May 1948 vol 450 c1439
35. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Health if he will make arrangements for local authorities to furnish tenants on request with information provided by Section 40 of the Rating Valuation Act, 1925, in order that they may ascertain their position under the Rent Restrictions Acts.

Mr. Bevan

No, Sir. A landlord of a controlled house may be obliged, under the Rent Restrictions Acts, to inform his tenant what the standard rent is; and if he fails to do so, local authorities have powers, which I hope they will use in suitable cases, to institute proceedings.
