§ Mr. Kirbyasked the Minister of Health whether he will establish rent courts or tribunals throughout the country for the purpose of preventing abuses of the Rent Restriction Acts and providing tenants with a legal form of appeal against overcharging by landlords.
§ Mr. WillinkI cannot consider what action should be taken in this matter until the Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Rent Control is available. I understand that amongst the suggestions which have been made to the Committee is that of the establishment of rent courts or tribunals.
