HC Deb 03 February 1932 vol 261 cc129-30
10. Mr. C. WILLIAMS (for Sir B. PETO)

asked the Minister of Health whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill to amend the Rent Restrictions Act; and, if so, whether he can indicate at what date this will be introduced?

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

A Bill to amend the Rent Restrictions Acts will be introduced during the present Session, but my right hon. Friend is not at present able to give any indication of the date.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Is the date likely to be before Easter or before Whitsuntide?

Mr. BROWN

I can give no indication at all as to that.

Mr. MAXTON

Did not the House have a promise from the Minister of Health that the Bill would be circulated during the Christmas Recess?

Mr. BROWN

I am not aware of that fact.
