HC Deb 19 October 1950 vol 478 c264W
69. Mr. Steward

asked the Minister of Health for how long he proposes to continue making it compulsory for a person to prove that he is in need of his own house before consideration can be given to allowing him to re-occupy it.

Mr. Bevan

If the hon. Member has in mind houses controlled under the Rent Restrictions Acts, the granting of orders for possession is within the discretion of the county courts and I have no jurisdiction.
