HC Deb 23 February 1927 vol 202 c1761
64. Sir JOHN MARRIOTT

asked the President of the Board of Trade the total amount of the claims made by residents in Great Britain in respect of damage by enemy action in the late War; what amount was actually paid in compensation; and what profit, if any, was made or the Government Air Raid Insurance Fund?

Sir B. CHADWICK

It is not possible to state the totals asked for in the first two parts of the question. The profit on the aircraft insurance scheme was £10,898,205.

Sir J. MARRIOTT

Will the hon. Gentleman answer the last part of the question?

Sir B. CHADWICK

I think I have answered it. I stated the profit that was made by the Government out of the Air Raid Insurance Fund.
