§ 56. Mr. Parkinasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will immediately close down that office in his Department which in his name answers appeals for help from the public in terms of the letter H5/JY /1081 of 24th October last to Mr. R. Jones, of 18 Beethoven Street, London, W.10.
§ Mr. MacCollAction is being taken to reduce the delay in the Rent Office, which was the ground of complaint. The Department's letter should have explained the circumstances rather more fully, but the pressure is very great and until the delay is reduced, I am afraid that no answer can give full satisfaction.
