HC Deb 25 November 1964 vol 702 c193W
61. Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will make a statement concerning the future of the tied cottage system.

Mr. Crossman

The Government believe that no occupant of a tied farm cottage should be subject to arbitrary eviction and to this end have included provisions in the Protection from Eviction Bill, now before the House, to give such occupants additional security.

Longer term measures for dealing with these cottages will be worked out after consultation with the interests concerned.
