HC Deb 11 July 1963 vol 680 cc1407-8
33. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will introduce legislation to give security of tenure to tenants of all rented houses, and to abolish the tied cottage, in the next Session of Parliament.

The Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs (Sir Keith Joseph)

No, Sir.

Mr. Spriggs

Will the right hon. Gentleman take into consideration the large number of evictions, especially those involving large families, which are taking place at the present time, and consider making available sufficient money to allow local authorities to rehouse families which have been evicted because of the tied cottages system?

Sir K. Joseph

We are reviewing the housing subsidy position at the moment.
