HC Deb 29 May 1941 vol 371 cc1983-4
36. Mr. Bernard Taylor

asked the Minister of Health what is the policy of His Majesty's Government for assisting local authorities to meet the increased expenditure necessitated by air-raid damage and to offset the loss in rates; and whether this policy applies to local authorities throughout the country?

Mr. E. Brown

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 13th May to my hon. Friend the Member for Tarn-worth (Sir J. Mellor). The policy set out in that answer applies throughout the country.
