§ 26. Mr. Messerasked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to say whether the Rent Restrictions Act will be continued after 1938?
§ 27. Mr. Duncanasked the Minister of Health whether the Government have yet come to a decision as to the future of the Rent Restrictions Act after 1938?
§ Sir K. WoodThe Government have decided to appoint a Departmental Committee to inquire into and report on the future of the Rent Restrictions Acts.
§ Mr. C. WilliamsHave the Government also decided to find pigeon-holes for the previous reports?
§ Mr. DuncanWill the Committee have power to make recommendations for London different from those for other parts of the country?
§ Sir K. WoodI am considering the terms of reference, and I should certainly think that it will be open to them to do that; and, I may add, that previous reports of this kind have been most helpful.
