§ 51. Major ROPNERasked the Minister of Health what action it is proposed to take to remove the inequality which exists between the assessments of houses to which Section 12 (9) of the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restrictions) Act, 1920, applies, and the assessments of similar houses to which the Statute does not apply?
§ Sir K. WOODThe matter is not one in which my right hon. Friend is empowered to take any administrative action. If inequality in fact arises, it could only be removed by legislation amending the statutory provision on which it is founded.
