HC Deb 17 December 1980 vol 996 cc183-4W
9. Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he is making in his policy to revive the privately rented housing sector.

Mr. Stanley

The provisions of the Housing Act 1980 relating to the private rented sector are now in force and, taken together, they should contribute materially to the availability of privately rented accommodation.
