§ Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will introduce legislation further to protect tenants against the hardship involved when such people are evicted by landlords who wish to sell their property.
§ Sir K. JosephA return to control would make it increasingly difficult for anyone to find a house to rent since it would encourage landlords to sell their houses as soon as they became vacant. The only way to meet housing needs is to build enough houses. I am encouraging local authorities with severe shortages to build more.
