HC Deb 13 February 1951 vol 484 c48W
109. Mr. N. Davies

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that cases have arisen where families have been evicted from their homes and have ended up in the police station because there is-no longer any statutory obligation on the local or county welfare authorities to give them accommodation; and what steps he will take to ensure that this cannot happen in future.

Mr. Blenkinsop

The provision of accommodation for evicted families who cannot find homes for themselves is a matter for the local housing and welfare authorities to consider together.' Those authorities are doing their best within the limits of their resources.
