§ 49. Commander SOUTHBYasked the Minister of Health whether the committee considering the question of the present working of the Rent Restrictions 1804 Acts has finished its investigations; and, if so, when it is anticipated that it will be in a position to issue a report?
§ 53. Mr. EDEasked the Minister of Health when he anticipates the report of the Departmental Committee on Rent Restriction will be presented?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe Committee has not finished its investigations, and I am, therefore, not in a position to give any precise indication when its report may be expected. I certainly hope, however, to receive it before the end of the Session.
§ Mr. BROCKWAYWill the right hon. Gentleman, in view of the hardships which are being suffered by the working classes owing to high rents, expedite the delivery of this report?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe committee has had to receive a very large amount of evidence, and I understand that we shall before very long, within a few months perhaps, have the report.
Sir F. HALLDoes the right hon. Gentleman agree that the difficulties are always on the side of the tenant and that the position of the landlord has not to be considered?
