§ 7. Miss Eleanor Rathboneasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the income limit for persons eligible to claim immediate assistance in respect of property and chattels, destroyed or damaged through enemy action, has been recently abolished or raised, and if so, to what figure; and what are the conditions attached to the claiming of such assistance?
§ Mr. LytteltonThe income limit has been abolished, and any one person can now apply to the Assistance Board if he requires assistance to meet immediate needs of essential clothing, furniture, household effects or tools. Details of the arrangements for advance payments for war damage to private chattels are set out in Board of Trade Notice 123, of which I am sending a copy to my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. ThorneWhere can people get the forms upon which to apply for this concession?
§ Miss RathboneWill the right hon. Gentleman give as much publicity as possible to the fact that the income limit has been abolished, as it does not seem to be known sometimes, even among the officials who are advising applicants?
§ Mr. LytteltonYes, Sir.
