§ Mr. Lewisasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will publish in HANSARD a detailed list showing the number of local authorities which have expressed to him their support and opposition, respectively, to the Rent Bill.
§ Mr. H. BrookeOut of the 1,529 local authorities, seventeen have written criticising provisions of the Bill. I should not ordinarily expect local authorities to write to me in support of a Bill, but two have written specifically to dissociate themselves from criticism of this Bill.
