§ 27. Mrs. Hardieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of the extortionate rents being charged for furnished apartments in Scotland; and whether he will take some action to regulate these rents, in view of the serious shortage of houses?
Mr. JohnstonI have received several representations on the subject, including one recently from Glasgow Corporation. I am considering whether, and if so, what action can usefully be taken.
