HC Deb 20 March 1922 vol 152 cc52-3W
Mr. LAWSON

asked the Minister of Health whether numbers of houses are being held for sale with vacant possession with resultant loss of rates to local authorities; and what steps he proposes to take in order to ensure that such houses should not be exempt from rates while being held vacant in view of the present shortage of houses?

Sir A. MOND

As I have previously stated, I cannot undertake to introduce legislation for this purpose.
