HC Deb 15 April 1943 vol 388 c1402W
Miss Ward

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the altered circumstances of house owners owing to the war, he will take steps to ensure that there are no obstacles such as conditions under leases allowed to prevent the sub-division of large houses into flats?

Mr. E. Brown

Section 163 of the Housing Act, 1936, enables the county court in certain circumstances to vary the terms of a lease which is restrictive in the sense referred to by my hon. Friend.
