family was 170 ; 922 visits of inspection were made
to these houses, and arising out of such visits 269
notices were served.
Comprehensive by-laws with regard to tenement
houses were made in 1925, although many important
clauses do not operate until six months after the Rent
Restrictions Acts have ceased to be in force. During
1931, the L.C.C. made amending by-laws, whereby
certain of these clauses come into operation upon any
tenement houses becoming decontrolled. Only a small
number of the houses coming under these by-laws have
so far been formally registered.
