HC Deb 31 July 1931 vol 255 cc2637-8
Major GRAHAM POLE

(By Private Notice) asked the Minister of Health whether he can state what action the Government propose to take in regard to the Rent Restrictions Acts?

Mr. GREENWOOD

It is the intention of the Government to propose to Parliament in due course to extend the existing Acts by means of the Expiring Laws Continuance Act.

Sir K. WOOD

Does that mean that the right hon. Gentleman does not propose to take into consideration, so far as early legislation is concerned, any of the recommendations in the report of the Inter-Departmental Committee?

Mr. GREENWOOD

It means that to be on the safe side we are going to extend the existing law.
