HC Deb 14 February 1986 vol 91 cc600-1W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will introduce legislation to prohibit the repossession of houses occupied by, or eviction of, families with one or more disabled family member without prior consultation with local social services departments; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

I have been asked to reply.

No. It is for the mortgagees, landlord and the courts to decide, taking account of all the circumstances, on the most appropriate course of action in cases of arrears or default.
