49. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Prime Minister whether, under the combined effects of the Defence of the Realm Act and the Immature Spirits (Restriction) Bill, when it becomes law, the Government is in a position to promise compensation or to promise consideration of each claim to compensation upon which the compensation committee favourably report?

The PRIME MINISTER

I must refer to the statements made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Attorney-General in the Debate yesterday.
