HC Deb 16 February 1972 vol 831 c106W
86. Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to enable any tenant of premises subject to the provisions of the Rent Act, 1968, to ascertain the identity of his landlord even where he is not contemplating civil or criminal proceedings under that Act.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. Friend is considering the Francis Committee's recommendations on rent books which would give many more tenants access to further information. Any tenant paying rent to an agent and wishing to find out the identity of his landlord could ask the agent for his authority to receive the rent.
