HC Deb 22 July 1969 vol 787 cc320-1W
52. Mr. Graham Page

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will give an assurance that his powers to reject council house rent proposals will be allowed automatically to lapse at the end of this year and that he will not seek any further powers enabling him to interfere in this aspect of local authority affairs.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have at present nothing to add to what was said on this subject by my right hon. Friend the First Secretary of State in the debate on 16th April.
