§ 21. Sir Leonard Lyleasked the President of the Board of Trade to clear up misconceptions, whether every trader on the register of his Department will be entitled, without question, to return to his 12 business after the war on the same site he occupied prior to his enforced closing down.
§ Mr. DaltonLicences will be granted after the war to traders on the Board of Trade Register of Withdrawing Retail Traders who wish to re-establish their former businesses at premises in respect of which they have registered. Should these premises not be available, licences will be granted for other premises in the same shopping area.
§ Sir Joseph LambCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether, in the case where a man has left the premises and they are let to an alien, that man will be allowed to have the same premises back again, as, otherwise, the goodwill will have gone with the business?
§ Mr. DaltonAll that my Department can do is to issue licences to trade at the same premises, or, failing that, at premises in the near neighbourhood or the same shopping area.
