HC Deb 08 March 1920 vol 126 c891
32. Mr. CHADWICK

asked the composition of the Committee set up to consider the operation of the Rent Restriction Act, what evidence it proposes to call, and whether the proceedings will be public or published?

The MINISTER of HEALTH (Dr. Addison)

I have been asked to answer this question. With regard to the first part of the question the particulars were given in the reply which I gave on the 1st of March to the hon. and gallant Member for Southport. The Committee will, of course, themselves decide what evidence it is necessary to call in order to enable them to come to their conclusions, but they are, in fact, hearing evidence amongst others from both property owners' associations and tenants' associations. The proceedings are private, but it is intended that the evidence taken should be published with the Report.
