46. Mr. NEWDEGATEasked the Prime Minister whether he can make arrangements that compensation shall be given to persons suffering loss by Zeppelin raids out of German investments in this country?
§ The PRIME MINISTERArrangements have been made for State insurance against air raids, and I do not think that the question calls for further consideration at present.
§ Sir R. COOPERWill the right hon. Gentleman consider whether the Government might not properly do something to relieve cases of hardship arising from the recent raid in the Midlands, where it was less contemplated that the necessity for using the State insurance would ever be required?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat question was answered yesterday.
