HC Deb 25 March 1937 vol 321 c3058
26. Mr. Messer

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to say whether the Rent Restrictions Act will be continued after 1938?

27. Mr. Duncan

asked the Minister of Health whether the Government have yet come to a decision as to the future of the Rent Restrictions Act after 1938?

Sir K. Wood

The Government have decided to appoint a Departmental Committee to inquire into and report on the future of the Rent Restrictions Acts.

Mr. C. Williams

Have the Government also decided to find pigeon-holes for the previous reports?

Mr. Duncan

Will the Committee have power to make recommendations for London different from those for other parts of the country?

Sir K. Wood

I am considering the terms of reference, and I should certainly think that it will be open to them to do that; and, I may add, that previous reports of this kind have been most helpful.
