HC Deb 09 April 1946 vol 421 c1793
54. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the hardship caused to hotel and boarding-house keepers whose property has now been derequisitioned by Service Departments, he will consider putting back the appointed day under the Requisitioned Land Act, 1945, from 24th February, 1946, to VE-Day.

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir. Apart from other considerations, there is no power to alter this appointed day.
