HC Deb 18 November 1952 vol 507 cc152-3W
92. Mr. M. Stewart

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what inquiries he has made into the conduct of agencies for the letting of houses and flats; and with what result.

Mr. Marples

My right hon. Friend passed the information and complaints he received to the police. They have instituted one prosecution which resulted in two men being sent to prison for 18 months, and another prosecution is immediately pending. Some other cases are still under police inquiry.
