HC Deb 11 November 1948 vol 457 cc196-7W
2. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Health when he expects to introduce legislation to implement the recommendations of the Ridley Report.

Mr. Bevan

There is no early prospects of such legislation.

6. Mr. Wadsworth

asked the Minister of Health if he will now consider the position of property owners who are unable to maintain a reasonable standard of repair to their property, due to the effect of the Rent Restriction Act; and whether he will consider modifying this Act to enable property owners to increase rents sufficiently adequate to maintain their property in a good state of repair.

Mr. Bevan

This is an aspect of rent control which will be considered when comprehensive legislation on the subject is possible.
