HC Deb 17 July 1924 vol 176 c586
60. Mr. C. EDWARDS

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received a Resolution from the Bedwellty Guardians calling his attention to the serious position in which many poor peoples are placed as a result of the high rents charged for both furnished and unfurnished apartments: and will he undertake to introduce legislation to protect sub tenants by making it illegal to charge more than a fixed percentage of the standard rent of the house?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Mr. Arthur Greenwood)

My right hon. Friend has received this Resolution. I would refer my hon. Friend to the replies which were given to similar questions on the 4th and 7th July.
