HC Deb 27 August 1914 vol 66 c188W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the advisability, in view of the distress which the present crisis will occasion in the homes of the workers, of making illegal the seizure of the furniture of any home for debt of a smaller value than £20, or for non-payment of instalments?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Courts (Emergency Powers) Bill which was introduced yesterday.
