§ 5. Mr. Edelmanasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will prevent the dispossession of miners from houses tied to collieries when such miners have developed incurable industrial diseases which render them unfit for work, as in the case of Mr. James Kelly, of Binley Colliery, Coventry, particulars of whom have been sent to him.
§ Mr. ShinwellI have no power to interfere with the exercise of contractual rights affecting the tenancy of colliery 925 houses. I am, however, looking into the particular case referred to and will write to my hon. Friend about it.
