§ THE EARL OF MANSFIELD asked His Majesty's Government whether the tenancy of dwelling-houses which have passed from the ownership of colliery companies to that of the State, is still dependent upon occupation; and whether a man who ceases to be employed in coal-mining, either through retirement, or change of occupation, is liable to eviction by the Coal Board.
§ LORD CHORLEYDwelling-houses which have been taken over by the National Coal Board from colliery companies will, no doubt, continue to be occupied by the employees of the Board on the same terms as before. It is usually a condition that a workman who obtains a colliery house must vacate it on termination of colliery employment.
§ House adjourned at twenty minutes before seven o'clock.
