HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 cc309-10W
Mr. Douglas-Mann

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will extend the protection of the Rent Acts and entitlement to rent allowances to tenants of properties in the ownership of his Department.

Mr. Freeson

No. But so far as possible the provisions of such legislation are applied administratively. The introduction of rent rebates for tenants of Government Departments has been under study for some time, and consideration will be given to the introduction of an appropriate scheme for the benefit of such tenants.
