Excerpt from Housing: The Growth of State Interest and Control and What It May Lead to Being a Lecture Delivered Before the Royal Philosophical, Society of Glasgow, on 1st December, 1920

The Increase of Rents Acts have been adversely criticised, but it may be said that the regulation and control of house rentals in some form was in the circumstances an absolute necessity. The alarming shortage of dwellings throughout the country rendered the situation one of extreme danger, and, while one is disposed to think that the provisions of the earlier measure were to some extent inequitable, a much improved and fairer method has now been recognised, namely, to permit certain specified increases of rentals consistent presumably with present-day conditions (as far as that is possible) and under suitable safeguards as regards habitability of the dwellings and otherwise. Control and regulation of rentals will require to be exercised for a number of years, but a variation of rentals should be provided for according to changing circumstances and conditions. To this one feels sure no serious objection can be urged.
