HC Deb 30 October 1945 vol 415 cc379-80W
Mr. Steele

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if any legislation is being considered to curb the excessive demands of some landlords on owners of property at the expiration of their lease by asking them to pay large sums of money as a reversion fee and also increasing the feu duty.

Mr. Buchanan

At present I can hold out little hope of legislation on this matter, but I shall be glad to have particulars of any cases which my hon. Friend has in mind.
