§ MR. VERNEY (Buckinghamshire, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is now able to state what reduction in rent, if any, he can grant to officers who are paying rent for bungalows in South Africa far in excess of their present value, rents calculated on the inflated prices charged when they were built, and which do not take into account their depreciation since that date.
§ MR. HALDANEIt is hoped that the War Department will be able to render some assistance to officers renting bungalows. As soon as a decision has been reached notification will be sent to South Africa.
