Major GREAMEasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that assessments are being raised in many cases of houses having a lower rateable value than £35, and which, therefore, would come under the provisions of the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (War Restrictions) Act, 1915; and whether the Local Government Board will take steps to prevent such raising of 1191W assessments until the Government have presented their proposals with respect to the continuation of the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (War Restrictions) Act?
