§ Mr. MILLSasked the Minister of Health if he has received any appeal from the Swanscombe Council, of Kent, in respect of rents being paid under the Housing Acts of 1919, 1923, and 1924, respectively; and, if so, can he help to stabilise the varying rents?
§ Miss LAWRENCEDiscussions took place a year ago between the Swanscombe Urban District Council and my Department on questions relating to the rents of houses provided under the Acts referred to, but nothing further has been heard from the council on the subject. As regards the second part of the question, there is no power to pool the rents of houses provided under the various Acts with a view to their equalisation.
