HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 c54W
52. Mr. John Fraser

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will introduce legislation to control the multiple occupation of houses on the lines of the private legislation now operating in Birmingham and Hull, details of which are in his possession.

Mr. MacColl

The question whether powers similar to those contained in these local Acts should be made more generally available is under consideration as part of the Government's current review of the legislation affecting older houses and houses in multiple occupation. My right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to make any announcement.
