§ Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to require a standard form of rent book to be used by landlords in relation to all properties which are subject to the Rent Act, 1968.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe Rent Book (Forms of Notice) Regulations, 1965, made under the Landlord and Tenant Act, 1962, prescribe the contents of rent books, which vary according to whether the tenancy is furnished, subject to rent regulations, or subject to rent control. At present weekly tenancies require the provision by the landlord of a rent book. I am now considering the recommendations on rent books in the Francis Committee's Report and intend to take action.
