HC Deb 01 May 1975 vol 891 c187W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many eviction orders have been served on agricultural workers in tied cottages during the past two years; in how many cases local authorities had provided alternative accommodation in council houses so that the tied cottage was vacated without an eviction; and in how many cases the tenant had been physically evicted by bailiffs and, of this number, how many were taken into care by the county welfare department.

Mr. Kaufman

Figures for possession orders granted by the courts in respect of agricultural workers in tied cottages appear in Civil Judicial Statistics, copies of which are in the Library. The latest edition published is for 1973. The remainder of the information sought by the hon. Member is not available.
