Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what evidence he now has of the effect of the Rent Act 1974 on the supply of furnished accommodation in London.
Mr. Freeson
As I explained in an answer to my hon. Friend the Member for St. Pancras, North (Mr. Stallard) on 19th December last—[Vol. 883, c. 603–4.]—little detailed information is available on the stock of rented accommodation. Statistical material is being reviewed with a view to assessing the effect of the Act on the supply of furnished accommodation, but it will be some time before any conclusions can be drawn.
