HC Deb 28 September 1939 vol 351 cc1486-7
70. Mr. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the forms of claim in respect of damage to property referred to in the Treasury announcement of 6th September will be available to property owners?

Sir J. Simon

Distribution of the forms of claim to local authorities and district valuers, Inland Revenue Department, is rapidly proceeding and will be completed within the next few days. As my hon. Friend will appreciate, a property owner will not need a form of claim unless and until he suffers loss or damage of the nature mentioned in the announcement referred to.
