HC Deb 19 July 1966 vol 732 cc47-8W
58. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will take steps to encourage the establishment of tenants' associations in blocks of flats so that there is some uniformity of approach by tenants of similar accommodation when appeals are made to rent officers or rent assessment committees.

Mr. Crossman

I am sure that a properly organised tenants' association can be of considerable help to its members in preparing a case for the rent officer or the committee, and also in other ways. The President of the London Rent Assess- ment Panel has arranged to speak to some tenants' associations about the Rent Act and is prepared to meet others if they wish.
