HC Deb 19 November 1976 vol 919 c785W
Mr. Berry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will review the position whereby if a tenant applies to the rent officer for registration of a fair rent and the rent is reduced, such reduction is retrospective to the date of application, whereas if an increase is fixed, such increase is only payable after registration of the rent and the serving of notice on the tenant.

Mr. Armstrong

This is for consideration in the current review of the Rent Acts.
