§ 42. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will introduce a scheme to control the selling price of houses built before 1939.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanThe previous Government announced that they found legistion on this subject impracticable. I do not dissent from this view.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonWhen is the right hon. Gentleman going to differ from the decisions reached by the previous Administration? Is he not aware that a Departmental Committee in the time of the war-time Coalition Government reported in favour of this particular proposition? What action is he going to take about it?
§ Mr. MacmillanWe shall follow in this case what seemed to me a wise decision.
