§ 105. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Local Government and Planning whether he will direct the attention of the councils of county boroughs and county districts to the importance of publishing information concerning decisions given by the courts on matters arising under the Rent Restriction Acts, particularly in view of the important judgment of the House of Lords Appeal Courts in the recent case of Moodie v. Hosegood where it was held that on the death of a contracted tenant the widow of the tenant is entitled to the same protection under the Rent Acts as the widow of a statutory tenant.
