RENT RESTRICTION ACTS.

HC Deb 15 March 1920 vol 126 cc1825-6W

Sir D. DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that the Increase of Kent (Amendment) Act, 1919, has been hold not to apply where a tenant has himself given notice to quit, and then held over, is not protected from being liable to pay an increased rent, he will introduce a Bill to protect such tenant, as the present position punishes a genuine seeker after alternative accommodation, for a tenant; who has given notice to quit would not hold over unless compelled to do so for lack of accommodation?

Dr. ADDISON

I have no doubt that this point will be considered by the Committee which is now considering the whole question of the operation of the Rent Restriction Acts.
