§ 28. Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the further housing cuts announced in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement will extend in such a way as to preclude the provision by local authorities of additional accommodation designed to meet the needs arising from the abolition of tied cottages under the Rent (Agriculture) Act.
§ Mr. ArmstrongThere is no reason to suppose that local housing authorities will be unable to fulfil their statutory obligation under the Rent (Agriculture) Act 1976.
