§ 63. Captain CARR-GOMMasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Defence of the Realm Losses Commission have decided the amount of compensation to be paid in connection with the requisitioning of land at Cippenham, in South Bucks, for military purposes; and, if so, what is the total amount which has been or will be paid?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMy hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. No claims have yet been received in respect of the land referred to. The crops are being harvested on all but a very small portion of the area, and in these cases it will be difficult to assess compensation until the crops are removed. As soon as any claims are received they will be dealt with as expeditiously as possible.
