HC Deb 23 March 1965 vol 709 c52W
63. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what information he has received on the difficulties experienced by tenants in prosecuting landlords who contravene the provisions of the Eviction Act, 1964; and if he will take steps to increase the Act's effectiveness.

Mr. Crossman

In an open letter, which has had wide publicity, I have suggested that any tenant in such circumstances should seek help at once from his local authority, if he has no solicitor of his own.
