HC Deb 11 May 1916 vol 82 c895
76. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War, in view of the fact that there are insufficient repositories in this country to meet the demand for storing the furniture of married men called to the Colours and that loss is entailed by a forced sale, whether he will take steps to provide sufficient accommodation?

Mr. LONG

I think that the object which my Noble Friend has in view will be furthered by the Clause which has been inserted in the Local Government (Emergency Provisions) Bill enabling local authorities to make arrangements for the storage of furniture belonging to men called to the Colours.
