HC Deb 07 July 1938 vol 338 c576
45. Mr. Liddall

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give an early date for the discussion of the Motion standing on the Paper in the name of the hon. Member for Lincoln relating to war risks insurance?

[That this House, in view of the large sums of money advanced by local authorities under the Small Dwellings Acquisition Acts and the apprehension caused by the absence of a definite statement of the details of the Government's policy on the question of insurance of property against damage by enemy aircraft, urges on the President of the Board of Trade the immediate publication of the preparatory work already undertaken to facilitate the application of a scheme of insurance or compensation if an emergency arises.]

The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)

In the present state of public business, I am afraid that I can hold out no hope of time being available for the discussion of this Motion.
