Martin, of 42, Longley Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, purchased utility furniture to the value of£70 in June, 1945; that this furniture proved to be manufactured from unsatisfactory green wood so that drawers and panels have become shrunk and twisted rendering the furniture unfit for use; 89W whether he will send an inspector, with a view to recommending that this Service-man shall be allowed to exchange this furniture; and if he will take steps to see that the manufacturers of this furniture avoid any repetition of such an occurrence.
