HC Deb 26 July 1927 vol 209 cc1009-10
68. Sir PHILIP RICHARDSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the many hardships arising under the Rent Restrictions Acts; and whether he will take steps to introduce an amending Bill at such an early date in the next Session of Parliament as to ensure that time will be found for the full discussion of all the provisions of the existing Acts?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend is aware that a number of suggestions for the amendment of the Rent Restrictions Acts merit careful, consideration, and can assure my hon. Friend that full consideration will be given to his suggestion.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Will the hon. Gentleman pay particular attention to cases in which ordinary dwelling houses have been transformed into shops and the tenants have been evicted?

Sir K. WOOD

If the hon. Member will send me some cases, I will inquire into them.
