HC Deb 12 February 1948 vol 447 c100W
73. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health in view of the decision of a county court judge that tenants are not protected by the Rent Restrictions Act if they share the use of a kitchen and bathroom with the landlord, what steps he proposes to take to secure protection for tenants in this position and to avoid confusion and distress.

Mr. Bevan

The Ridley Committee on Rent Control considered the question of joint user of rooms and made a recommendation on the subject which will be borne in mind when legislation to amend the Rent Restrictions Act is possible. As I have stated there is no early prospect of such legislation.
