§ Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he has considered the request, a copy of which has been sent for him, made by the National Federation of Property Owners for the repeal of the Housing Repairs and Rents Act, 1954, in view of its failure to secure necessary and urgent repairs to property; and whether he will introduce amending legislation to this effect.
§ Mr. SandysI have noted what the Federation have said in their memorandum, but I think it is still too early to assess the effectiveness of this Act.
