HC Deb 15 July 1952 vol 503 cc137-8W
12. Sir W. Darling

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider introducing legislation to set up tribunals to which owners of property may appeal if they believe they are unable to maintain let property on present rental.

Commander Galbraith

My hon. Friend's suggestion will be borne in mind in the general review of the Rent Restriction Acts.

14. Sir W. Darling

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that the Rent Restriction Acts are preventing landlords from carrying out essential repairs, and that house property is deteriorating as a result; and if he will introduce legislation which will have the effect of halting this deterioration.

Commander Galbraith

This matter will form part of the Government's review of the Rent Restriction Acts, but I am at present unable to say when legislation will be introduced.
