§ 4. Captain Gammansasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is yet in a position to make any statement on the policy of the Government with regard to the re-entry into business of small retail distributors who have been forced out of business for any reason as a result of the war?
§ Mr. DaltonI have now completed my discussions on this matter with the principal organisations concerned, and hope to make a statement shortly.
§ Mr. LeachWill my right hon. Friend consider advising local authorities who own shops where a small man has had to go to the war to make available these premises when the man has come back?
§ Mr. DaltonI am obliged for that suggestion. I will certainly look into it. I am anxious to make a statement soon which will be in general accord with the recommendations I have received.
