§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will introduce legislation to enable him by order to prohibit all evictions for a specified period to which prescribed circumstances apply.
§ Mr. MacCollRecent legislation has given greatly increased security of tenure and has made it a criminal offence, subject to heavy penalties, to evict any tenant without an order from the Court. The need at present is for the existing law to be made known and applied as widely as possible rather than for it to be changed.
