§ 57. Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that heavy premiums have been paid by manufacturers, traders, and others for insurance against aircraft; and, as the premiums had to be paid for a year, will he consider the advisability of refunding the amount due on each policy as from 11th November, 1918?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Bridgeman)The question whether some refund of premium could be given has been carefully considered by the Aircraft Insurance Committee, and they have come to the conclusion that it is not practicable.
§ Mr. ROWLANDSDid the Committee investigate the cases of those firms holding large stocks who have paid large premiums?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe matter was very carefully considered.
