HC Deb 25 March 1977 vol 928 c706W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what is his estimate of the number of tenants of resident landlords who enjoy restricted security only;

(2) what is his estimate of the total number of resident landlords.

Mr. Freeson

In 1973, the last year for which figures are available, there were an estimated 400,000 private tenants living in the same building as their landlord: 190,000 in unfurnished accommodation, 210,000 in furnished. I cannot give precise figures, but at that time the large majority of furnished tenants enjoyed restricted security only. There is no estimate of the number of resident landlords.
