Rent Act, 1968 (Protected Tenancies)

HC Deb 22 October 1968 vol 770 cc258-9W

62. Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that the prohibition of the assignment at a premium of protected tenancies under Section 86 of the Rent Act, 1968, is causing hardship to lessees holding for terms over 21 years; and whether he will introduce amending legislation.

Mr. Greenwood

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given the hon. Member for Woking (Mr. Onslow) on 14th October.—[Vol. 770, c. 33.]
