HC Deb 21 September 1939 vol 351 cc1045-6
16. Mrs. Tate

asked the Minister of Health whether any arrangements are to be made for partial remittance of London rents to those who, in order to maintain schools or colleges for young persons or adolescents, have been forced to find country accommodation?

Mr. Elliot

I assume that my hon. Friend has in mind schools and colleges which are not supported out of public funds. It would not be possible for me to make arrangements for the remission of rents to owners of schools, which did not also apply to other classes of tenants. On the general question, I would refer to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Attorney-General to the Member for Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) yesterday.
