HC Deb 09 February 1922 vol 150 c324W
Mr. W. HALLS

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that houses are being kept empty indefinitely on offer for sale, he will introduce legislation to compel owners to let the same within a limited time, or to compel the owners to pay rates for the same during the whole period that they are unoccupied?

Sir A. MOND

I cannot undertake to introduce legislation upon the matter to which the hon. Member refers.
