§ 77. Mr. Haireasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider downpointing those articles of utility furniture of which considerable stocks are at present held by manufacturers.
§ Sir S. CrippsI am aware that there are accumulations of certain articles of Utility furniture, and I have, therefore, decided to downpoint them. These changes come into effect tomorrow and I am circulating the details in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Following are the details:
For the settees Nos. 12 and 13, the unit value will be reduced from 9 to 3; for the chairs New. 12A, 2 and 2A, from 6 to 2; for the fireside chair No. 1A, from 5 to 1; and for kitchen tables Nos. 1 and 2, from 4 to 1.
