§ 89. Sir Thomas Cookasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will arrange for worm-diggers and others who are entitled to compensation as the result of loss of trade due to the presence of the anti-aircraft artillery camp at Stiffkey, Norfolk, to receive sums on account as contributions towards their ultimate claims?
§ Sir V. WarrenderThe question whether there is a case for making ex gratia payments of compensation to worm-diggers and others at Stiffkey for loss of trade due to the presence of the anti-aircraft artillery camp is at present being investigated. Pending the result of this inquiry, I am afraid it is not possible to authorise any payments.
