§ 88. Mr. LEEasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that Bertram Kirk, of Meadowhead, Woodseats, Sheffield, was in January last given notice to leave a wooden building in which he was living with his wife and child; that Kirk cannot find a house; that he has applied to the Sheffield City Council, but understands that his number on the waiting list is 6,600; that the council on Monday last prosecuted Kirk for remaining in the building, and that the magistrate gave him 14 days in which to appeal; and whether he proposes to take any steps in the matter?
§ Sir K. WOODI received a communication with regard to this case on 30th December last, and in reply drew the writer's attention to his power of appeal under the Housing Acts. No appeal has been made to me, and I have no further information. I am, however, making inquiries with regard to the circumstances of the case.
