HC Deb 02 December 1976 vol 921 cc203-4W
20. Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what assur- ances he has been able to give farmers about the availability of public authority housing for people currently living in tied cottages who will have security of tenure although they have left farm work.

Mr. Armstrong

There is no reason to think that local housing authorities will not cope with their rehousing obligations under the Rent (Agriculture) Act once it comes into force.
