Abstract
Rented property in the public sector, like other types of rented property, has been subjected to considerable pressures over the decades. Its significance grew after the First World War when Lloyd George, then Prime Minister, found that one way of meeting his election pledge of ‘Homes of Heroes’ was to increase the stock of local authority accommodation. By 1945 the sector owned 10 per cent of rented housing stock, rising to 24 per cent in 1987. Local authorities are landlords of some 4½ million houses and flats which accommodate 13 million people.
