§ Mr. SULLIVANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if his attention has been drawn to the action of house-property owners in Scotland in declaring that dwelling houses are decontrolled by the changing of tenants, and thereby raising rents above the amount permitted by the Rent Acts; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
Mr. W. ADAMSONI have received a representation to the effect stated. The law is laid down in the judgment of the 353W Court of Session in the Caledonian Heritable Estates Limited v. Methven, and the question of its application to a specific case is for the determination of the Court on an application under Section 11 of the Kent and Mortgage Interest Restriction Act, 1923, and I have no power to intervene.
