§ Mr. E. WOODasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to cases of hardship arising under The Increase of Rent, &c. (Amendment) Act, 1919, by which men who volunteered for military service at the outbreak of war and found themselves compelled to part with their houses, and who on release from military service purchased other houses, are now unable to obtain possession owing to the restrictions under Clause 1 (1) (c) of the Act; and whether he will consider introducing amending legislation to meet such cases, which are necessarily limited in number and appear deserving of special consideration?
§ Dr. ADDISONA few such cases have been brought to my notice. The suggestion in my hon. and gallant Friend's question shall be brought to the notice of the Committee which, as the Prime Minister announced in the House on Thursday last, it is proposed to set up to enquire into the working of the Rent Restriction Acts.
