HC Deb 22 March 1974 vol 870 c193W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in order to ensure that the freeze on rents is not breached upon a change of tenant, if he will seek powers to make compulsory the registration of all rents with the rent officer.

Mr. Freeson

No. It would not be practicable to introduce an effective register of the kind the hon. Member has in mind in the context of the present rent standstill.
