HC Deb 02 July 1963 vol 680 cc36-7W
72. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he is aware that householders in Canton and in Grangetown, Cardiff, are faced with eviction solely because their landlord wishes to sell the property with vacant possession; and what steps he is proposing to take to give security of tenure to tenants placed in such circumstances.

Sir K. Joseph

I do not know whether the hon. Gentleman is referring to the same cases as on 29th January when I asked him to send me details so that I might study them. He has not sent me the details.

As has been said on many previous occasions, the Government do not believe that to give security of tenure to all tenants would be in the interests of tenants or would-be tenants at large.
