§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the difficulty experienced by landlords in obtaining possession of unoccupied houses owing to the difficulty of tracing tenants who have disappeared; and whether, to ensure the proper use of all available accommodation, he will consider modification of the law?
§ Mr. E. BrownMy attention had already been called to the difficulty mentioned in the first part of the Question, and the question whether any action is practicable is being considered by my Department in consultation with the Lord Chancellor's Department.
