§ Captain BOWYERasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the case of Mr. J. Hughes, late Welsh Fusiliers, who served from 1915 to 1920; is he aware that Mr. Hughes is a boot repairer, with a wife and two children, who has worked up a connection 1572W and now lives at Castlethorpe, Bucks; that he was allowed to rent a condemned cottage as a workshop and now has had to move into the condemned cottage as he has been turned out of his house; will he inquire what can be done to help Mr. Hughes, as there is no other house available, as an ejectment order is being issued now to turn him out of the condemned house, and as the only alternative left to Mr. Hughes appear to be the road or the workhouse; and will he at least stop the enforcement of the ejectment order until Mr. Hughes can get alternative accommodation?
Sir A. MONOMy attention has not previously been drawn to this case. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Acts, the question of the ejectment order is entirely one for the determination of the court to which the order is submitted, and I have no authority to interfere. I am, however, making inquiries with regard to the case, and will communicate further with the hon. and gallant Member.
