HC Deb 10 April 1919 vol 114 c2267W
Major NEWMAN

asked the Attorney-General whether, where a block of flats are acquired by a new landlord, the sitting tenants of such flats can enjoy the protection afforded tenants who come within the scope of the various Rent Increases Act?

Sir G. HEWART

The answer to this question is in the affirmative. The assumption is that the rent, or rateable value, is such as to bring the flats within the scope of the Acts.
