HC Deb 19 April 1932 vol 264 cc1403-4
58. Mr. LECKIE

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the dissatisfaction which exists, he will take steps to deal with the question of the permitted increases in rent under the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restrictions) Act, 1920, during the present Session?

60. Lieut.-Colonel MAYHEW

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that excessive rents are being charged for decontrolled and other classes of property occupied by the lower-paid workers; and if he will now consider the desirability of promoting legislation to counteract this?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Mr. Ernest Brown)

My right hon. Friend is afraid that he cannot add anything to the replies he has recently given as to the introduction of amending legislation.
