HC Deb 24 June 1920 vol 130 cc2420-1W
Mr. RENDALL

asked the Minister of Health whether he will make inquiries into the case of Mr. and Mrs. W. Hodges, aged 79 and 75, respectively, living at High Street, Iron Acton, Gloucestershire, whose landlords have cut off their supply of water, issued notice to quit, and obtained an ejectment order under which they are liable to be evicted on 29th June; and, if the facts are as stated, will he take any steps which will prevent these old people from being turned out of their home, there being no alternative accommodation in this village where they have lived for 25 years?

Dr. ADDISON

I am not empowered to take any action to over-ride the decision of the court in cases such as that to which the hon. Member refers.
