§ Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he is aware that, owing to the destruction of property by enemy action resulting in income from rents being discontinued, trust funds covering such property may be unable to meet liabilities in respect of annuitants, some of whom are aged servants; and whether he can do anything to relieve this position.
§ Sir K. WoodWhile I recognise and regret that the loss of income from rents may in some cases involve hardship, this is only one of many forms of loss of income due to the war and I regret that I cannot contemplate the extension of the War Damage provisions to cover it.
