Can the right hon. and learned Gentleman tell me what answer can be given to a person who is thrown on the street because he has no redress at the present time? A number of these cases are actually happening in regard to tied cottages. Is he aware that this matter was raised in November and that there has been ample time in which to deal with this foolish provision which does not allow the tenant to go to a county court? Is he also aware that there is not even publicity against the landlord who takes this kind of arbitrary action? This is a very serious matter. How long does the right hon. and learned Gentleman expect these investigations to take?
