HC Deb 07 July 1977 vol 934 c596W
Mr. Reid

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to ensure that public sector landlords are obliged, as private sector landlords are under the Rent Acts, to inform tenants of their basic rights under the law when issuing notices to quit.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

I have no evidence that public sector tenants who are served with notices to quit are materially disadvantaged in this respect. However, as the recently published consultation document "Scottish Housing" (Cmnd 6852) acknowledged, there is a need to develop a model tenancy agreement which would clarify the rights and obligations of both tenants and authorities.
