HC Deb 30 March 1920 vol 127 cc1070-1
47. Captain REDMOND

asked the Prime Minister when he proposes to appoint the Committee to examine into and report upon rent profiteering; whether he is aware that much social and financial unrest is prevalent in Ireland owing to the demands made upon tenants; and whether precautions will be at once devised to ensure fair play to tenants and owners?

Mr. BALDWIN

A Committee is at present considering the operation of the Rent Restriction Acts, and I understand that they are hearing evidence from Irish witnesses.
