§ 63. Sir T. Mooreasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are his arrangements for immediate assistance to owners of shops and private houses to reopen or repair their premises, pending adjustment of their claims, under the War Damage Act?
§ Captain CrookshankThe War Damage Act contemplates, where a property is repairable or a cost-of-works payment is appropriate, that payment shall normally be made on completion of the work of repair. It is open, however, to the War Damage Commission in appropriate cases to pay by instalments as the work progresses, and the attention of claimants is drawn to this on the claim forms issued to them.
