HC Deb 17 March 1932 vol 263 cc449-50
37. Mr. PARKINSON

asked the Minister of Health when he proposes to introduce the promised legislation to implement the report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Rent Restrictions?

Mr. E. BROWN

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given last week to the hon. Member for Woolwich, East (Mr. Hicks).

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Is it not the case that the Government promised to bring in a Bill to deal with the position in this country as soon as they possibly could, and that last week the Lord President of the Council said that he was sorry that they would have no time?

Mr. BROWN

The answer last week said that the Minister could not say at present when it would be possible.
