§ Mr. Graham Pageasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs to what extent local authorities have adopted the procedure recommended by his Circular No. 41/59, namely, to permit the tenant and landlord relationship to continue after acquisition of a dwelling-house by a local authority until the dwelling-house is required for demolition.
§ Mr. BrookeSince the issue of Circular 41/59 I have had no serious complaints that local authorities acquiring houses for clearance are collecting rents in advance of demolition. I think that authorities generally are acting in accordance with the advice given therein.
