HC Deb 02 December 1948 vol 458 cc198-9W
64. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the hardship caused to those looking for accommodation, especially in the London area, by the premium system practised in connection with the letting of flats; and whether he contemplates legislative action to make premiums completely illegal.

Mr. Bevan

I would ask my hon. Friend to await the text of the Bill on rent control referred to in the Gracious Speech.
