HC Deb 20 March 1919 vol 113 c2229
59. Captain HAMILTON BENN

asked the Prime Minister whether, having regard to the present position of the building trade and to the high cost of materials, it is the intention of the Government to introduce a measure for the protection of lessees against forfeiture and hardship owing to the difficulty of getting repairs executed during the War and for some time after peace is signed?

Mr. BONAR LAW

As at present advised, the Government is not prepared to take any further action in this matter.
