HC Deb 07 May 1958 vol 587 c110W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware that tenants of flats or houses for which no premium was charged by the landlord have been selling their leases for high premiums over the head of the landlord; and what steps he proposes to take to prevent this practice.

Mr. H. Brooke

Where it is an offence to require a premium for the grant of a tenancy, it is also an offence to require a premium for its assignment.
