HC Deb 23 October 1984 vol 65 c551W
Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to encourage a significant revival of the private rented accommodation sector.

Sir George Young

The Government introduced various initiatives to encourage the private rented sector in the Housing Act 1980. It is now considering whether further steps should be taken to encourage landlords to meet the demand for homes to rent.
