Matters of Interest: Rent Controls & the King’s Maiden Speech in the House of Lords

Following the rumours that the government is considering introducing rent controls, Richard reflects on the way in which private rents were controlled and regulated for much of the twentieth century in Britain. What was the impact then? And ought similar to be considered today - or are there better alternatives? Next, Lee takes us back to June 1974 when a young Prince of Wales (now Charles III) addressed the House of Lords for the very first time. What did he say, by what right, and what was he trying to achieve?Enjoy ad-free listening, bonus episodes and show your support for the podcast by joining the Since Attlee & Churchill Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/SinceAttleeAndChurchillBuying books via the Since Attlee & Churchill Bookshop is a great way to support the podcast.
