HC Deb 10 October 1945 vol 414 cc216-7
38. Squadron-Leader Donner

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the estimate of the damage done by enemy bombing in Malta; and what steps are His Majesty's Government taking to settle the reparations due to Malta from such enemy bombing, other than the £10,000,000 granted by the Imperial Government to the Colony.

Mr. George Hall

It is not possible yet to give an exact figure of the cost of repairing war damage in Malta. The matter raised in the second part of the Question is now receiving consideration by His Majesty's Government.

Squadron-Leader Donner

Will the right hon. Gentleman be able to make an announcement at an early date?

Mr. Hall

The matter is being considered, and I am hoping that a statement will be made soon.
