HC Deb 19 June 1952 vol 502 c125W
105. Mr. Snow

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether the pronouncement made on 6th July, 1950, HANSARD, columns 621–22, by the then Minister of Health, on the subject of evictions from agricultural subsidised council houses, still represents Her Majesty's Government's viewpoint.

Mr. Marples

The selection of tenants is, by statute, in the hands of the local authority and my right hon. Friend does not propose to interfere with that discretion.
