HC Deb 17 November 1964 vol 702 c28W
45. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government since 30,000 houses a month are being affected by creeping decontrol, if, pending the repeal of the Rent Act, he will take immediate steps to prevent any further houses from becoming decontrolled by a change of tenant.

Mr. Crossman

The Government propose to deal with creeping decontrol as part of their major proposals on rent control. Meanwhile, the Protection from Eviction Bill is designed to give greatly increased security to tenants of houses which have become decontrolled.
