HC Deb 26 March 1947 vol 435 c206W
81. Mr. Pritt

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Wimbledon Rent Tribunal habitually withholds from applicants for rent reduction information as to the answers given by their landlords to the questions in official forms of inquiry as to the price or value or rent of the house unfurnished; and whether he will instruct tribunals on this matter, since it is contrary to natural justice to take evidence from one party behind the back of the other.

Mr. J. Edwards

I was not previously aware of this and am drawing the attention of the Tribunal to the relevant paragraph of a memorandum my right hon. Friend has already issued, of which I am sending the hon. and learned Member a copy.
