HC Deb 23 May 1946 vol 423 cc496-503
2. Mr. Sparks

asked the Minister of Health which local authorities have requested the adoption in their areas of the Furnished Houses (Rent Control) Act, 1946; and how many orders he has issued under Section I and for what areas.

Mr. Bevan

Three hundred and eighty-six local authorities have informed me that they wish to have tribunals and I am circulating the list in the OFFICIAL REPORT. No orders have yet been issued, but I have asked local authorities to submit names for membership and as soon as tribunals can be manned and staffed the necessary orders will be made.

Following is the list:
