§ 105. Mr. Hobsonasked the Minister of Food if he will consider spreading the amortisation charges on British Restaurants over a longer period than 8½ years.
§ Dr. Edith SummerskillThe present financial arrangements between my Ministry and local authorities with regard to civic restaurants are being terminated at 31st March, 1947, in England and Wales; consequently the arrangements under which local authorities have made provision for the amortisation of the capital cost of the restaurants over a period of 8½ years will also come to an end on that date.
