EVICTIONS AND DECREES OF SEQUESTRATION, GLASGOW.

HC Deb 06 March 1924 vol 170 cc1638-9W

Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary for Scotland the number of decrees for eviction given at the Glasgow Sheriff Court since 27th January?

Mr. ADAMSON

The number of decrees of summary removing granted in Glasgow Sheriff Court since the 27th January is 678, of which 353 were granted in absence.

Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary for Scotland the number of actions taken at the Glasgow sheriff small debt court for arrears of rent; and in how many cases was decree granted for the sum sued?

Mr. ADAMSON

The number of decrees of sequestration for past due rent granted in the Glasgow sheriff small debt court since the 27th January is 49. It is not possible to give the number of actions for payment of rent arrears apart from sequestration, as the record of small debt cases does not distinguish between actions for arrears of rent and actions for other debts.
