HC Deb 20 March 1947 vol 435 c91W
60. Mr. Hare

asked the Minister of Health under what powers the local authority requisitioned 19, Hereford Gardens, Lewisham, and evicted the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Waters, from their home; and what action he is prepared to take in this matter.

Mr. J. Edwards

This house was requisitioned in 1943 on behalf of the Minister of Health under Defence Regulation 51. A possession order against the owners was given by the courts last month. No action by my right hon. Friend is called for.
