§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is prepared to institute an inquiry to obtain from owners of house property a statement of the amount received by them from the imposition of the 25 per cent. increase of rent for the purpose of executing repairs to house property and of the amount spent by them in carrying out repairs since the operation of this section of the Rent Restrictions Acts?
§ Sir A. SINCLAIRI regret that I cannot entertain the proposal as the inquiry suggested would not be practicable.
