HC Deb 18 July 1957 vol 573 c146W
92. Mr. Parkin

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government to what extent he claims copyright in the wording of Form G; and whether duplicated copies of this form distributed by the North Paddington Labour Party will be regarded as meeting his Regulations made under the Rent Act when used by tenants for the purpose of requesting landlords to undertake repairs.

Mr. H. Brooke

As I said in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Hornsey (Lady Gammans). there is no copyright in the notices prescribed under the Rent Act and anyone is free to reproduce and distribute them. There is no requirement as to the method of reproduction. The notices must however be in the form prescribed in the Regulations, or in a form substantially to the same effect, and in addition must contain the appropriate notes prescribed in the Regulations.
