HC Deb 18 July 1975 vol 895 c626W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now introduce legislation to amend the Rent Acts 1968–74 so as to enable all landlords requiring possession of premises at the expiry of the contractual tenancy for their own occupation, or that of their immediate family, to claim possession as of right.

Mr. Freeson

I do not consider such amendment necessary or desirable. The Rent Acts provide sufficient grounds for recovery of possession of accommodation for the landlord's own use or that of certain members of his family.
