HC Deb 17 March 1976 vol 907 cc578-9W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to improve the conditions of local authority and new town authority tenants in matters not covered by his policies towards rents.

Mr. Freeson

Local authorities and new town authorities as landlords are responsible for the conditions placed on their tenants. My Department is examining conditions of tenancy as part of a general review of housing management issues, and when this work is complete, I shall consider what fresh legislation is needed.
