HC Deb 27 February 1918 vol 103 c1393W
Mr. ADAMSON

asked the Minister of Munitions whether he has received any protest from the ratepayers of Bellshill, Mossend, and district against the rents being charged for the new houses being erected by the Ministry on the ground that these rents are out of proportion to the prevailing rates of wages in the district and to the rents charged for other houses; and whether he is giving the matter consideration?

Mr. KELLAWAY

Protests have been received from the ratepayers of Bellshill, Mossend, and district against the rents being charged for the new houses now being erected by the Ministry, and the matter is being given careful consideration.
