100. Lieut. - Commander Gerald Williamsasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the embarrassment caused to householders at the present time through the owners of furniture warehouses terminating the leases in order to use them for other purposes; and whether, in view of the fact that those who have their furniture in such warehouses have nowhere else to store it, he will take steps to give special protection to furniture warehouses against the termination of leases until the present housing shortage is at an end.
§ Sir S. CrippsMy attention has not before been drawn to any difficulties of the 1901 kind referred to. If the hon. and gallant Member will give me details of any case he has in mind, I will look into it.
