§ 133. Mr. H. Butlerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that families who were bombed out in the borough of Hackney, and rehoused in Marlborough Court, W.8, are now threatened with eviction on the grounds that they have not found alternative accommodation; and what action he proposes to take to help these people.
§ Mr. MarplesIn view of the pressure on Hackney's housing resources, my right hon. Friend has arranged to put half-way house accommodation at the disposal of seven families from that area, now living in Marlborough Court, until such time as they can be permanently rehoused. The Hackney Borough Council have agreed to rehouse the other families from their area, with the exception of two single people, who should be able to make their own arrangements.
