Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Housing. – in the House of Commons at on 1 October 1924.
Mr James Maxton
, Glasgow Bridgeton
Arising out of the original reply of the Secretary for Scotland, would he make inquiries to find out whether it is the fact that the decisions of the Sheriff Courts in Glasgow, as stated in his answer, are being persistently evaded, that while in one Court arrangements are made by the sheriff by which the arrears may be paid in easy instalments, immediately thereafter the house owner takes the same tenant into another Court and gets an order for ejectment? Will the right hon. Gentleman inquire into these matters and see that the law is given proper effect to, and not evaded?
