HC Deb 18 November 1952 vol 507 c154W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware of the concern felt by the people of East London at his announcement of intention to close the East London Rent Tribunal; and whether, in view of the overcrowding resulting from the loss of houses during the war, he will reconsider his decision.

Mr. H. Macmillan

No, and I see no reason to alter my decision. But I shall, of course, watch the position.
