- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence for what reasons eviction notices issued to tenants of service family accommodation use the term violent trespass; and if he will consider removing the reference.
- Answer
-
So far as records show, the Ministry of Defence has not used the term ““violent trespass”” in any correspondence with occupants of service family accommodation.We do however, recognise the term ““violent profits””, the Scottish legal equivalent of ““damages for trespass””, in regard to monies owed by irregular occupants of service family accommodation in lieu of rental payments. For legal reasons we have no plans to cease using the term.
