§ Mr. McENTEEasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the rents charged to tenants on the Northfield Road estate, now in the area of the Esher Urban District Council, have been the subject of several requisitioned parish meetings for the past eight or nine years in the Parish of Cobham; that since the amalgamation of Cobham and Esher representations for a reduction of rents have been made to the Esher Urban District Council; and whether, in view of the high rents charged to these tenants, he will urge on the Esher Council the need for expediting consideration of the matter?
§ Sir K. WOODYes, Sir. I understand that the matter has now been considered by the Esher Urban District Council and that it has been decided to make some reduction in the rents of these houses.
