§ 40. Mr. PHILIP OLIVERasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the representations made to him by the Manchester and Salford Better Housing Council upon the profiteering in the letting of furnished rooms, which has been revealed in local housing surveys; and whether he is prepared to take legislative action in the matter, especially in the direction of setting up machinery to enable poor tenants to submit their cases in simple form and without unnecessary expense where injustice on the part of landlords is experienced or suspected?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a similar question put last week by the hon. and learned Member for Moss Side (Sir G. Hurst).
§ Mr. BROCKWAYIs it the intention of the Government to cover this point in any proposed legislation?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThat I cannot say; but clearly legislation must await the result of this investigation.
