§ 78. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Health in view of the growing custom of the courts to grant eviction orders against tenants to enable previous tenants or owners to resume possession, whether he is aware that some of these evicted tenants have had to be accommodated in wartime rest centres; and whether particular attention will be given to the need of ensuring that urgent accommodation of this character, with suitable amenities, shall be available either in the municipality of the evicted tenants or elsewhere.
§ Mr. BevanYes, Sir. I am aware of these unfortunate cases, and particular attention will be given to the accommodation which can be made available, though the main effort of local authorities must be directed towards providing accommodation of a more permanent kind.
§ 81. Mr. G. Wallaceasked the Minister of Health if public assistance authorities have been authorised to store furniture 38W and effects of families made homeless through Court orders.
§ Mr. BevanNo question of special authorisation arises, but I have no doubt that the authorities will do what they find practicable on the merits of each case.
