§ 56. Mr. TILLETTasked the Minister of Health the number of evictions which have taken place under the 1923 Rent Act; and whether he can give a detailed statement as to the categories in which the various cases fall and the conditions operating which led the Judges to grant the necessary orders?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI regret that the information desired by the hon. Member is not available.
§ Mr. TILLETTAre there no records kept, and is there no means of obtaining this classification?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSNo records are set up for each separate Department, but if the hon. Member presses for the figures, I am quite willing to consult the Lord Chancellor and see whether he would apply to the County Court Judges to get the information, which I have no doubt could be obtained.
§ Mr. TILLETTI am very anxious to get it.
§ Mr. BANTONHave any representations been received from boards of guardians with regard to people who have been made homeless by the Act?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThat, again, is a question that I should not like to answer without notice. One gets so many letters every year.
