HC Deb 25 February 1926 vol 192 c696
49. Sir ALEXANDER SPROT

asked the Prime Minister when the Rent Restrictions (Scotland) Bill will be presented; and will this Measure receive facilities to be passed into law without delay?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)

I have been asked to reply. A Rent Restriction Bill applying to Scotland only is under consideration, but I can give no undertaking in regard to its introduction.

Sir A. SPROT

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that if a special effort is not made to pass this Measure quickly into law there will be further difficulties with regard to the collection of rates and that it is very desirable to avoid such a thing happening?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Yes, I am aware of that.
