§ Mr. GREENWOODAs I have intimated in reply to recent questions, it will not be practicable to introduce legislation to amend the Rent Restrictions Act in the near Future.
§ Lieut-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTEDoes the right hon. Gentleman agree that this Act is full of anomalies, and that it results in hardships?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI realise the anomalies, but they are of very long standing.
