HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c77W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to make it possible for property owners either to recover the possession of their property or be able to obtain a fair rent on tenancies that have existed since before 1940.

Mr. Stanley

We are examining all aspects of the Rent Acts, including the tenancies to which my hon. Friend refers, and we expect to reach conclusions much more rapidly than the previous Administration.
