HC Deb 23 November 1948 vol 458 cc1076-7
48. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce legislation to permit compensation in cases of war damage for loss of rent because of delays in rebuilding beyond the control of the owner.

Sir S. Cripps

No, Sir. I am afraid that this is only one of many types of loss which must be regarded as outside the field of public compensation.
