HC Deb 05 March 1979 vol 963 c445W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate he has made of the effect on the availability of relets of the implementation nationally of the proposals on security of tenure for public sector tenants set out in his Department's consultation paper.

Mr. Armstrong

We believe that there will be no substantial effect. Good landlords do not evict tenants lightly, and we are confident that responsible public sector landlords do not evict tenants on grounds not provided for in our proposals.
