HC Deb 20 December 1955 vol 547 cc294-5W
Mr. Shurmer

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that tenants in furnished rooms have no protection against eviction, and that this is causing a serious situation for local authorities who are unable to house those who are evicted; and if he will introduce legislation at an early date to alleviate the distress which is being caused to so many families.

Mr. Sandys

There is provision for giving security of tenure to lessees of furnished accommodation who apply to rent tribunals for reasonable rents to be fixed.
