HC Deb 16 October 1941 vol 374 c1497
63. Major Peto

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether special care is taken by the War Damage Commission to ensure that serving soldiers unable personally to attend to their war damages homes are not thereby prejudiced in the presentation of their claims?

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury(Captain Crookshank)

Yes, Sir. It is open to such a claimant to make his claim through an agent, for example, a member of his family, and to authorise the agent to receive payment on his behalf.
