§ Mr. Doigasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will introduce legislation, on the lines proposed for England, to prevent landlords from evading the Rent Act, 1965, by granting leases for more than 21 years.
§ Mr. RossThere is no need for me to do so. In Scotland landlords cannot get round the Act in this way because the statutory provisions excluding such leases from rent control do not apply.
