HC Deb 24 March 1899 vol 69 c342
MR. F. WILSON (Norfolk, Mid)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he is aware of the serious consequences arising from the liability to ejectment at short notice of cottage tenants in rural districts; and whether he is prepared to make any legislative proposals to give the country population greater security in their homes?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

Such inquiries as I have been able to make show that the ejectment of cottage tenants under the circumstances referred to in this Question is of very rare occurrence.

MR. F. WILSON

I wish to ask whether the right honourable Gentleman will ensure that the question is brought before the Select Committee on the Cottage Homes Bill?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

At first sight I can see no connection at all between this matter and the subject referred to the Committee the honourable Member speaks of.
