HC Deb 11 March 1968 vol 760 cc209-10W
Mr. Winnick

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will seek to amend the Rent Act, 1965 to give furnished tenement accommodation the same full security of tenure and the same rent machinery for tenants and landlords as the Act provides for unfurnished accommodation.

Mr. MacColl

Whilst in some respects furnished lettings may need special treatment, my right hon. Friend would like to see the relations between the codes governing furnished and unfurnished lettings made as close as possible. He cannot, however, at this stage promise to introduce further legislation.
