§ 10. Mr. Ioan L. Evansasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what action has been taken to inform tenants of their rights under the Rent Ac: 1965.
Mr. GrossmanI have already drawn attention to the Act in a television broadcast, and it has also received wide publicity in the Press. Later this week there will be available a million free leaflets for distribution by local authorities and citizens advice bureaux, and half-a-million copies of a ninepenny booklet published by the Stationery Office. In due course, a team of mobile cinemas will publicise the opening of the new rent assessment machinery in the various registration areas.
§ Mr. EvansI thank my right hon. Friend for the action he is taking. Is he considering bringing out a publication in a simple question and answer style because it is important that the information on rights in respect of the Act restored to tenants should be widely known? Will he consider sending this publication to local authorities, advice bureaux and tenants' associations?
Mr. GrossmanThe ninepenny booklet to which I referred is exactly a question and answer booklet for tenants and landlords.
§ Mr. LubbockWill the right hon. Gentleman ensure that supplies of the ninepenny booklet are available for hon. Members for use in their advice bureaux?
