§ Mr. Robert Jenkinsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what action he is taking to ascertain the approximate number of families who will be evicted in consequence of the Rent Act, 1957, from 6th October, 1958, onwards; and what methods he is employing to obtain this information.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI have come to the conclusion that to seek to ascertain at this stage the information which my hon. Friend has in mind could have only limited value, seeing that there are at least six more months in which landlords can conclude agreements or tenants can succeed in making alternative arrangements.
