Tied Houses (Non-Agricultural Tenants)

HC Deb 21 July 1976 vol 915 cc486-7W

Mr. Hicks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether case No. 12 contained in Part II, Schedule 3 to the Rent Act 1968 is in any way affected by the provisions of the Rent (Agriculture) Bill now before Parliament; and, if so, whether he will outline the changes proposed.

Mr. Armstrong

Case 12 of Schedule 3 to the Rent Act 1968 is not materially affected by the Rent (Agriculture) Bill since it applies to tenants who neither are nor have been employed in agriculture nor are widows of such persons. I am writing to the hon. Member.
