HC Deb 21 January 1924 vol 169 c519
44. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Under-Secretary for Labour whether adequate funds are still available for the purposes of the Civil Liabilities Committee; whether applications are still being received; and what is the average of the awards made in the last six months?

Mr. BETTERTON

The answer to the first and second parts of the question is in the affirmative. The average of the awards made during the last six months is £55.

Mr. SOMERVILLE

Does that average represent an increase over the previous period?

Mr. BETTERTON

That I cannot say without notice.
