§ 58. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will give for the latest stated 406W date his estimate of the total number of persons or families who have been evicted for non-payment or arrears of rent and/or rates; how many of these are now accommodated in half-way houses or council resettlement camps; and whether they receive such accommodation rent free.
§ Mr. RipponThere are no overall statistics available on which to base estimates of the number of people evicted for the non-payment of rent. There is no power of eviction for the non-payment of rates.
