§ 40. Mr. Ammonasked the Home Secretary whether similar arrangements for compensation for loss of life and damage to property through enemy action operate in the Channel Islands as on the mainland of Britain; and, if not, why, and in what respect do they differ?
§ Sir J. AndersonAny such arrangements would have been primarily a matter for the Island authorities, and so far as I am aware no such arrangements had been made up to the time of the enemy occupation.
§ Sir J. AndersonCertainly not. The Channel Islands have a Legislature of their own and are outside the fiscal system of the United Kingdom.
