§ 38. Sir J. Smythasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what information he has received from the borough of Lambeth with respect to undesirable operations, on the scale alleged in respect of the late Mr. Rachman, in that borough.
§ Sir K. JosephThe information I have received from the Lambeth Council is to the effect that there is no knowledge of operations on the scale alleged being carried on in the borough, but there is some suspicion that two individuals may be working some kind of housing racket. I have been assured that any evidence of anything illegal will be passed on to Scotland Yard.
