Answer: – C
At the peak of Britain’s post-war requisitioning programme, around 98,000 properties were still under government control, housing more than 150,000 families. Powers introduced in an emergency ended up affecting tens of thousands of homes. This shows us how significant government intervention in the property market can become once the rules change.
