HC Deb 04 March 1958 vol 583 c113W
63. Mr. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to ensure that accommodation is provided for families threatened with eviction under the Rent Act, 1957; and what advice he can give to such families.

Mr. Maclay

I do not accept the view that the Rent Act will result in widespread evictions. Tenants should seek professional advice and enter negotiations with the landlord.
