HC Deb 30 April 1918 vol 105 cc1402-3W
Sir J. BOYTON

asked the Minister of Reconstruction if he will state the terms of reference to the Committee which he has set up under the chairmanship of Lord Hunter; and if one of its objects is to consider the extension of the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (War Restrictions) Act beyond the period of six months after the War specified in that Act?

Dr. ADDISON

The terms of reference of the Committee, as already announced in the Press, are as followsTo consider the legislation embodied in the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (War Restrictions) Act, 1915, as amended, in relation to the housing of the working-classes after the War, and to recommend what steps, if any, should be taken to remove any difficulties which may arise in connection therewith. The consideration of the extension of the Act is clearly within the reference of the Committee.
