asked the Prime Minister whether the committee to consider and make recommendations for the continuance of the Rent Restrictions Act will be re-appointed before the Adjournment; and is he in a position to give the terms of reference?

The Departmental Committee appointed by the late Government is being reconstituted, with the same terms, of reference, namely,

"to consider the operation of the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest, etc. (Restrictions) Act, and to advise what steps should be taken to continue or amend that Act."
