§ Sir W. Waylandasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether compensation can be given to owners of property near aerodromes whose tenants have had to vacate by police direction?
§ Captain CrookshankIf by "police direction" my hon. Friend means it 2071W to be inferred that compulsion was employed, I am advised that that is not correct, but that during a certain period of last year people were advised to leave the vicinity of some aerodromes. No compensation is available from public funds in such cases but person who acted upon such advice have the benefit of paragraph 6 (i, b) of the Defence (Evacuated Areas) Regulations, which was devised with their case in mind.
