§ Mr. J. L. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will circularise local authorities recommending them to give the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant (Rent Control) Act, 1949, the maximum publicity, or consider other practical means for this purpose, so that those citizens who are directly affected may know their rights.
§ Mr. WoodburnI am sending the hon. Member a copy of a circular which I issued to local authorities on 21st June drawing their attention to the 1949 Act and asking them to do all in their power to ensure that the public are kept informed of their rights and duties under rent control legislation. I am also arranging for the issue of posters and leaflets explaining the new provisions.
