The Government are at present examining the major proposals in the Conroy report on rent control, including a recommendation that the rents of houses built since 1941 should be controlled at the levels prevailing before the report was published (17th January, 1953). Until the Government have completed their examination of these proposals, it would be undesirable for me to make any statement about the level of rents now being charged for particular houses or about the nature of the action which the Government may decide to take with regard to the proposals in the report.
