HC Deb 03 December 1985 vol 88 c171W
Mr. Soames

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to facilitate the renting of private property.

Sir George Young

The Government hope to introduce legislation, building on the initiatives already taken in the Housing Act 1980, to encourage the supply of more homes for renting in the private rented sector, but probably not during the lifetime of this Parliament.
