HC Deb 05 December 1922 vol 159 c1559W
Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the First Commissioner of Works, as representing the Secretary for Scotland, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that many working people are being evicted from their homes owing to inability to pay the rent due owing to continued unemployment; and what action he is prepared to take in order to protect those folk from being thrown out of their homes during the winter months?

Sir J. BAIRD

My Noble Friend is not aware that the fact is as stated in the first part of the question, but he will be glad to consider any information on the subject which the hon. Member may be good enough to supply to him.
