HC Deb 10 October 1944 vol 403 c1570
67. Mr. Bowles

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will set up a commission, such as was established to deal with claims arising out of the war of 1914–1918, to examine the claims of inventors for reward for the use of their inventions in this war and to adjudicate thereon.

Sir J. Anderson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Yardley (Mr. Salt) on 25th January last.

Mr. Bowles

What was the reply?

Sir J. Anderson

I said in that reply that a commission would be set up at the appropriate time.

Mr. Bowles

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman what in his opinion is the appropriate time?

Sir J. Anderson

A little later.
