HC Deb 19 May 1953 vol 515 cc1866-7
29. Mr. L. Thomas

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he will publish the report of the Departmental committee he set up in August, 1952, to inquire into the effects of rent restriction and the increased cost of repairs and the deterioration of existing premises.

Mr. H. Macmillan

My hon. Friend is under a misapprehension. No special committee was set up, but of course I have been engaged in much study of these and allied problems. I cannot yet make any statement of policy.
