SIR,—Taper seems a little uncertain about the Rent Act, and

well he may be. Where are all the houses that were to be made available for letting? This is really rather important to those of us who have received notices to quit. At the end of the 'period of grace' there is likely to be an unholy scramble—if, indeed, there is any- where to scramble into. I can see little evidence of a rational housing policy.—Yours faithfully, JOHN COLLINSON 32 V yner Road, Wallasey. Cheshire
