Mr. Osborneasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that permits to buy utility furniture and priority dockets for household requirements have been refused to a North Lincolnshire farmer who is taking over 360 acres of land, merely on the ground that he is unmarried; and how single men who take over empty farmhouses can have their basic household requirements met.
§ Mr. BelcherPermits and priority dockets are not normally refused in such circumstances. If the hon. Member will let me have particulars to identify the case, I will have it investigated.
