HC Deb 30 June 1932 vol 267 c1999
27. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Health whether the proposals for the amendment of the Rent Restrictions Acts are now ready; and if they can be circulated for the information of Members prior to the introduction of the Bill in the autumn.

Sir H. YOUNG

The answer is "No, Sir."

Mr. WILLIAMS

Are we to understand that we are not to learn anything about the proposals to amend the Rent Restrictions Act until we return in the Autumn?

Sir H. YOUNG

Certainly I can hold out no hope at the present time of their being available to Members of the House before that time.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Could these proposals, when they are ready, be circulated to Members so that they may be able to examine them before the reassembly of Parliament?

Mr. MAXTON

Is there any certainty that the Government will be able to produce them?

Sir H. YOUNG

At the present time, as I have said in reply to the hon. Member opposite, I am unable to give any undertaking as to the time when they will be introduced.
