HC Deb 21 July 1971 vol 821 cc285-6W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce legislation to enable landlords to obtain an earlier court hearing and an order for possession in respect of tenants of furnished accommodation who refuse to vacate the premises at the termination of their lease.

Mr. Amery

The County Court rules already provide for expedited hearings where appropriate. Citizens' Advice Bureaux and the Courts themselves are able to advise about these special procedures. I am considering what further publicity should be given in the light of the Francis Committee's recommendation on this.
