HC Deb 28 January 1958 vol 581 c45W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many letters of protest he has received against the Rent Act, 1957, since this measure became law.

Mr. H. Brooke

I have received 1,800 letters about the Rent Act since it received Royal Assent. Some expressed approval of the Act and others disapproval, while many simply asked for information about the provisions of the Act. My records do not however show how many letters there are in each category.
