Comment on this
I would refer the Deputy to my replies to Questions Nos. 56 and 57 of 11 November 1987. Statutory regulations have been made prescribing standards for certain rented dwellings. From 1 January last, the regulations apply to all formerly controlled dwellings. I am at present examining the question of standards for the private rented sector generally.
