of section 13 of the 1923 Act. Section 12 (3) of
the Order does prohibit a statutory tenant from
asking or receiving the payment of any sum or
the giving of any other consideration by any
person other than the landlord as a condition of
giving np possession of controlled premises. Our
member also points out that the Order contains
110 provision obliging the landlord on being re
quested in writing by the tenant to supply him
with any information in the landlord's possession
or procurement to enable him to ascertain the
basic rent or have it determined by the Court.
The Order was, no doubt, designed as a temporary
measure to meet the difficulties of tenants who
were in occupation of premises on the relevant
date, and the omissions noticed will not affect the
majority of tenants. It is, however, understood
that if it is shown that hardship is caused by
the omissions the matter may be dealt with by
an amending Order.
