HC Deb 29 November 1966 vol 737 c62W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in view of the recent decision of the Court of Appeal restricting the definition of a family, he will seek to amend the law so as to empower a local authority to require the landlord of a property to bring the facilities up to a reasonable standard.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend is at present studying the Court's decision and its possible effect upon the powers and duties of local authorities, and will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
