HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 cc227-8W
50. Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will introduce legislation to extend to local authority tenants the security of tenure enjoyed by the tenants of private landlords.

Mr. Greenwood

The position of local authorities is very different from that of private landlords and the problems that arise are quite distinct. I am not satisfied therefore that there is any urgent need to extend the provisions of the Rent Act, 1968, into the public field, but I will gladly consider any evidence my hon. Friend wishes to submit.
