HC Deb 01 July 1943 vol 390 cc1760-1
26. Mr. David Adams

asked the Minister of Health how far, in giving his consent to the sale of municipal houses since the war, he has stipulated that, for the protection of future tenants, these properties should not be decontrolled?

Mr. E. Brown

Houses built by local authorities as part of their housing operations are expressly excluded from the scope of the Rent Restrictions Acts, and are, therefore, not controlled. If such houses are sold and subsequently let they become controlled.

Mr. Adams

Are we to understand that these houses, upon sale, become controlled?

Mr. Brown

These or any others.
