HC Deb 18 February 1969 vol 778 cc60-1W
48. Mr. John Fraser

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will take steps to extend his proposals for the control of multiple occupation of houses to occupation by more than one family.

Mr. MacColl

Experience of Local Act powers suggests that the scheme of registration in Clause 65 of the Housing Bill should have this level of exemption. The rest of Part IV of the Bill and the earlier legislation applies to any house in multiple occupation. My right hon. Friend and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales will be very willing to consider the views of hon. Members on this point.
