HC Deb 25 November 1930 vol 245 c1110W
Mr. MARDY JONES

asked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been called to the action of ground landlords generally to enforce the recent legal decision known as the Tredegar judgment, by demanding from the owners of house and business properties upon their lands an undertaking to transfer their insurances against fire, etc., from their customary insurance companies, however reputable and financially sound they are, to other insurance companies nominated by the ground landlords; he aware that this action is resented by owners of property; and will the Government take early legislative action to restore the customary personal rights of property owners in this matter?

The LORD ADVOCATE

I have been asked to reply. In the present state of Parliamentary business, my hon. Friend cannot hold out any hope that time can be found for legislation such as is suggested.
