Mr. B. Harrisonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will use the resources of his Department to publicise the fact that whilst tenants 49W of furnished accommodation must be given four weeks' notice to quit, tenants must also give four weeks' notice of their intention to leave.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThat four weeks' notice has to be given by the tenant, as well as by the landlord, is mentioned in the "Rent Act and You", published by50W Her Majesty's Stationery Office, of which 1¼ million copies have been sold. It has also been explained in talks about the Rent Act broadcast by the B.B.C. While I have no information which suggests that any widespread difficulty is caused by ignorance of this provision, I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving it further publicity by his Question.
