HC Deb 01 May 1922 vol 153 cc979-80
90. Sir ROBERT CLOUGH

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the growing frequency of notices that houses and rooms will not be let to tenants with children or with the possibility of having children; and whether, if such a policy is contrary to public interests, he will consider the desirability of introducing legislation on the subject to make it illegal to withhold accommodation on such grounds?

Sir A. MOND

I have seen some references in the Press to notices of this kind, but I doubt whether it would be practicable to deal with the matter by legislation.
