HC Deb 22 October 1945 vol 414 c1672
43. Mr. Touche

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that owing to changes in price levels the amount of compensation payable for goods destroyed by war damage will not enable the persons compensated to replace even articles necessary for a reasonable standard of life; and will he make a statement on the subject.

Sir S. Cripps

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 23rd August to the hon. Member for Orpington (Sir W. Smithers).
