§ Mr. Boultonasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the difficulties, and in some cases hardship, that mortgagees are placed under the present restriction to call in mortgages on properties coming within the Rent Restriction Act; and will he consider taking steps to rectify this position in any new legislation?
§ Sir K. WoodI am aware of the difficulties to which my hon. Friend refers. The whole question of the future of the Rent Restrictions Acts is at present receiving consideration but I am not yet in a position to make any statement as to future legislation.
