§ 18. M. Sorensenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what information he has received recently to indicate the extent to which, owing to increased rents made possible by the Rent Act, more accommodation is now being offered and accepted for equitable rents in the London and Greater London areas.
§ M. H. BrookeWhile I can make no precise estimate, there is no doubt at all that more owners are now re-letting accommodation as it becomes vacant, instead of selling it as in the past in order to escape from the deadening effects of the old control.
