HC Deb 27 February 1924 vol 170 cc525-6W

The following Question, standing in the name of Mr. ENTWISTLE, should be substituted for the one to which Mr. W. GRAHAM replied, as published in the OFFICIAL REPORT on Monday last [Col. 98].

Mr. ENTWISTLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware

given to the hon. Member for Mid-Bedford (Mr. Linfield) on this subject on 14th February. With regard to the second part, I understand that the price in the United States, which is our chief source of supply, has advanced recently. In addition, ocean freights are higher and the rate of exchange has moved against us. The rise in price has been general and has not been confined to this country.

that there are probably millions of pounds due under industrial policies of insurance awaiting claimants ignorant of their rights under the Courts Emergency Powers Act; and whether he will take steps to ensure effective publicity in this matter, which affects the interests of many policy holders?
