§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the Prime Minister whether the Government intends dealing with the Rent Restrictions Act; if he is aware that the Manx Legislature have passed an Act to extend for a further two years the Rent Restrictions Act and to reduce the increased rentals of 50 per cent, above the pre-War figure to 20 per cent.; and if he will take action in the matter?
§ Sir M. BARLOWI am aware of the action taken by the Manx Legislature referred to by my hon. Friend. The Government propose to re-appoint the Departmental Committee set up by the late Government to inquire into the steps which should be taken to amend or extend the present Rent Restrictions Act.
