§ 14. Sir H. CRAIKasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to introduce legislation in order to place half the burden of anti-aircraft insurance upon the landlord by enabling the tenant to deduct one-half of the premium from the rent next due, and so relieve the tenant from the obligation to bear the whole cost of insurance against a risk which was not in the contemplation either of landlord or tenant when most of the leases in London were entered into?
Mr. RUNCIMANI doubt the desirability of introducing legislation to determine the incidence of the cost of insuring property of any kind against damage by aircraft or bombardment, or against any other risks peculiar to the War.
