HC Deb 20 January 1944 vol 396 c399W
Mr. H. Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what local authorities have responded to the invitation conveyed in paragraph 2 of his recent Circular No. 148/1942, regarding the setting up of local rent courts; and how many authorities have asked for these courts to be set up.

Mr. Johnston

So far, 173 of the 228 town and county councils in Scotland have intimated the result of their consideration of the Rent of Furnished Houses Control (Scotland) Act, 1943. Of these 173 authorities, 107 have represented that the provisions of the Act should be applied to their areas.
