HC Deb 12 March 1924 vol 170 cc2324-5
83. Mr. PERCY HARRIS

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider including small workshops in the new Rents Bill, as many occupiers of such are receiving notice to quit or are having their rents raised by 100 per cent. or over?

Mr. WHEATLEY

If the hon. Member raises this point it will no doubt be considered by the Committee to which the Bill in question has been referred.

Mr. HARRIS

May I rely on the right hon. Gentleman to support this suggestion?

Mr. WHEATLEY

If it be necessary for the Government to introduce a Measure of its own, the hon. Member may rely on my considering the suggestions contained in this question.

Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

Will the Government say whether the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health for Scotland, who sits on this Committee, is there to represent the Government or is there representing his own personal views?
