§ 27. Mr. YEOasked the Secretary to the Local Government Board if he is aware that a decision has been given by the Central Appeal Tribunal concerning the proprietors of one-man businesses; can he say if that decision has been published. 581 if not, for what reason it has been delayed; and, in view of the fact that a considerable number of businesses are being closed daily by the tribunals in spite of the Local Government Board's Instructions, will he take action to circulate amongst the tribunals this decision immediately?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Hayes Fisher)I am informed that particulars of the case to which the hon. Member refers will be shortly issued to tribunals. From the statement which appeared in the Press on the 8th instant, he will see that the Central Tribunal state that, in deciding that case, they did not adopt any new principles, but simply applied those which had already been laid down by them.
