§ 46. Captain Earl WINTERTONasked the Prime Minister if it is in contemplation to introduce a system of voluntary State insurance against air raids; if so, whether such a system will be introduced at an early date; and whether, pending its introduction, His Majesty's Government will undertake to compensate owners of property damaged or destroyed by air raids, such compensation ceasing immediately a State insurance scheme is in force?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Board of Trade are considering the possibility of such a scheme. Meanwhile, each case as it arises will be considered on its merits.
