§ Lieut.-Colonel CROFTasked the Minister of Labour, as representing the Ministry of Health, whether the Government, in reconsidering the question of the extension of the Rent Restriction Act, will have regard to cases of genuine owners desiring to occupy their own houses; and whether he is aware of the fact that great hardship is being suffered by numerous owners who are unable to occupy their own houses, in which they have invested the whole of their savings?
§ Sir M. BARLOWThe particular point to which the hon. and gallant Member refers will certainly receive careful consideration.
