§ 29. Colonel YATEasked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in the late requisitioning of private houses, the only intimation was a letter written on Tuesday, the 18th of June, which reached the occupants on Thursday, the 20th, demanding possession by Monday, the 24th; and whether, considering the impossibility of anyone moving all their goods and effects in two days, he will give instructions that such action on the part of his Department is not to be repeated in future?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Sir A. Mond)If the hon. and gallant Member will furnish me with the details of the case to which he is referring, I will cause the matter to be inquired into.
§ Colonel YATEIs there no record of this in the office of the right hon. Gentleman?
§ Sir A. MONDIf the hon. and gallant Gentleman will look at his question he will see the impossibility of ascertaining to what ease he is referring.
§ Colonel YATEI will have great pleasure in sending the right hon. Gentleman the information.
