§ Captain O'GRADYasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, in many cities and towns in Great Britain and Ireland, landlords of houses at present excluded under the existing Rent Restrictions Acts, but proposed to be included under the present Bill, are rushing into the courts and obtaining decrees for ejectment for overholding in order to forestall the operation of the present Bill when it becomes law on or before 1st July next; and what action does he propose to take in the matter?
§ Dr. ADDISONI have no information that landlords are proceeding as suggested by the hon. Member, and in any case it would not be practicable to take any steps to anticipate the operation of the Bill.
