HC Deb 11 May 1944 vol 399 c2070
25. Lady Apsley

asked the Minister of Health what provision was made in the 1914–18 war- for civilian victims of enemy air attack; and how many people or dependants benefited.

Mr. Willink

Awards from Exchequer funds were made, on the general principles of the Workmen's Compensation Acts., in cases of death or permanent disablement, where the victim or his dependants were not otherwise provided for. The number of awards was 449, and the total amount paid up to the present date is about £80, 000.
