§ 63. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when Part II of the Rent Act 1965 will come into effect in the Essex registration area; in what other administrative counties it is not yet in force; and what are the reasons for the delay.
§ Mr. CrossmanI hope before June to make an Order for Essex, Norfolk, and East and West Suffolk. The only other area not yet covered by an Order comprises Huntingdon and Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely, Hertfordshire. Bedfordshire and part of Buckinghamshire. An Order already made fixes 16th May as the date in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and the rest of Buckinghamshire. The time in all cases has been taken in finding the best available people for this work.
