HC Deb 06 November 1930 vol 244 c1077W
Mr. BROTHERS

asked the Minister of Health what reply he has returned to the communication from the Town Clerk of Blackburn in reference to the insanitary conditions and high rents charged for houses let in lodgings; and will he consider the desirability of introducing legislation giving local authorities control over houses divided up into furnished rooms?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The Town Clerk of Blackburn has been informed that his communication will be brought to the notice of the Inter-Departmental Committee recently appointed to consider the working of the Rent Restrictions Acts. The facts stated are obviously such as to require full and careful consideration by the committee.
