§ 66. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what indication is given by the War Damage Commission to persons to whom the form of statutory declaration relating to late claims is handed that this form must be completed immediately and not subsequent to the work concerned being done.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThe procedure of requiring a statutory declaration in support of a late notification ceased over three years ago. It was the practice to issue with the declaration form a letter requiring the applicant to complete and return it within 30 days of issue.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterIf the right hon. Gentleman would apply his mind to the facts of the Question he would observe that it asks what warning is given where the form "is handed" and not accompanied by a letter, and would the right hon. Gentleman answer the Question?
§ Mr. Glenvil HallAs this Question has been taken off the Order Paper at least five times, I have had ample opportunity to study it and I can assure the hon. Member that if he will read my answer carefully he will find that what I have said is quite right.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterWould the right hon. Gentleman say the extent to which his answer deals with the case where the form, as the Question states, "is handed "?
