HC Deb 15 March 1949 vol 462 c1904
60. Mrs. Middleton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many claims for war damage compensation have been rejected by the War Damage Commission on the grounds alone that they were received too late.

Sir S. Cripps

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on Tuesday, 15th February, to my hon. Friend the Member for West Leicester (Mr. Janner).

Sir W. Smithers

Is the Chancellor aware that damage resulting from blast often does not appear until some years afterwards? Will he allow these cases to be dealt with?

Sir S. Cripps

Parliament has given this job to the War Damage Commission.
