HC Deb 14 December 1926 vol 200 cc2767-8
45. Mr. CLARRY

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of amending legislation as between landlord and tenant and the grievances and abuses which exist under the present laws, he will consider the setting up of a Royal Commission to investigate the subject with a view to legislation during the present Parliament?
