§ Mr. Bidwellasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will consider bringing in legislation to extend the Housing Acts for Great Britain passed since 1957 to Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. ConcannonHousing legislation in Northern Ireland is kept under continuous review in the light of the special housing problems there and the policies and legislation operative in Great Britain. For example, I have recently published a proposal for a Draft Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1976 which parallels to some extent the Housing Act 1974. Copies are available in the House. I am at present considering the law in Northern Ireland in relation to the private rented sector.
