§ 7. Mr. W. J. Brownasked the Minister of Health to what extent he has delegated to local authorities the power to make a requisitioning order in respect of furnished accommodation when notice has been given that the tenant will be evicted at the expiration of the three months' protective 213W period granted following a reduction of rent by a rent tribunal; and whether he will make this delegation general and inform all local authorities of the fact.
§ Mr. J. EdwardsMy right hon. Friend has delegated authority to requisition in twenty-five cases. He is not prepared to make a general delegation but will sympathetically consider applications made in individual cases.
