HC Deb 16 November 1954 vol 533 cc205-6
30. Mr. Steward

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will send a circular to all housing authorities requesting them to refrain from evicting married sons and daughters of tenants of council houses and their families, where the total number of persons living in the accommodation does not exceed the number stated on the rent book, in accordance with the provisions of the Housing Act, 1936.

The Minister of Housing and Local Government (Mr. Duncan Sandys)

I am not aware that this practice is going on. If the hon. Member would let me have more information, I shall be glad to go into the matter.

Mr. Steward

I shall be delighted to give my right hon. Friend a good deal of evidence in support of this Question.
