§ 94. Miss Baconasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will reconsider his decision not to exempt agreements under the Leeds City Council's hire-purchase scheme for furniture for corporation tenants from the provisions of the hire-purchase orders, in view of the representations made.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftI regret that I cannot do this. The hire-purchase restrictions are an essential part of the Government's general economic policy, and no relaxations are justified at the present time.
