§ Mr. Hardyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice or information has been given by his Department to rent officers in respect of tenanted 167W houses for which private owners receive subsidies under the Housing (Financial Provisions) Act, 1924.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerWhen the rent officer service was first set up the attention of rent officers was drawn to the fact that no application for the registration of a fair rent may be entertained for a dwelling in respect of which a condition as to rent under the Housing (Financial Provisions) Act, 1924, is in force. As this advice is now some years old, I propose to remind rent officers of it.
When in such cases the condition has expired, an application for the registration of a fair rent will, if the tenancy is subject to regulation, be entertained in the usual way.
