HC Deb 13 February 1941 vol 368 c1493
15. Mr. Stokes

asked the Minister of Health whether billeting allowances to hosts of bombed-out persons are payable as and from 21st December, 1940, in cases where the enemy action took place prior to that date?

Mr. E. Brown

It is immaterial whether the enemy action took place before or after 21st December. The governing consideration in the cases to which the hon. Member refers is the date of the application for the allowances, and it is from this date that allowances may be paid.
