§ 50. Mr. T. LEWISasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that excessive rents are being charged for decontrolled houses and to sub-tenants of furnished and unfurnished rooms; and if he will state what action he proposes taking to remedy this state of affairs?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThese matters will receive consideration in connection with any legislation amending the Rent Restriction Acts; but as I have intimated in reply to recent questions, it will not be practicable to introduce further legislation for this purpose in the near future.
§ Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEWill the Minister of Health be able to put this first on the list for next Session?
§ Mr. GREENWOODIf I follow what the late Government did, I shall not put it on the list at all.
