§ 41. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what protection he now proposes to give to lease holders who are threatened with eviction at the termination of their lease unless they pay a high rent for the house or a high price for the lease.
§ Sir K. JosephProvided that the rateable value in 1939 did not exceed £100 in London, or £75 in the Provinces, when a long lease expires a leaseholder has the protection of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. This means that the leaseholder will normally be entitled to retain possession at a controlled rent, fixed, if necessary, by the county court.
