§ Mr. Pooleasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that 14,000 tenants of municipal houses in Birmingham have balloted in favour of a rent-strike, which will take place on 1st May; and will he cause inquiries to be made into the great unrest which is manifest throughout the country due to the general raising of the rents of municipal houses?
§ Mr. BernaysI am aware of the action taken by some of the tenants of the Birmingham Corporation. My right hon. Friend could not accept the statement that great unrest on this subject is manifest throughout the country, and the latter part of the question therefore does not arise.
