§ Mr. A. Evansasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that Form G of the Third Schedule to the Rent Restrictions Regulations, 1957, which tenants require when giving notice to landlords of defects of repair, is not easily obtainable; and whether he will arrange to improve supplies of these forms.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI understand that there may have been some delay in obtaining these forms, but that supplies are now adequate. The Law Stationers' Association has written to its members and to other firms known to be printing the forms, drawing attention to the importance of maintaining adequate supplies and of meeting demands with the minimum of delay. In addition, the Stationery Office has as an exceptional measure now arranged to sell copies of the prescribed forms at its retail bookshops.

All citizens' advice bureaux have been asked by the National Council of Social Service to obtain sample copies of the forms and to tell people where they can get them.
