HC Deb 14 July 1919 vol 118 c76W
Sir S. SCOTT

asked the Attorney-General whether the term "standard rent" in the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restrictions) Act is held to include rates and taxes in cases where they are paid by the landlord?

Sir G. HEWART

This is a question of construction to be decided by the Courts. There is, as yet, so far as I am aware, no-authority on the point.
