§ Mr. Hutchinsonasked the Minister of Pensions whether, in cases where a house is being acquired under a mortgage from a building society, involving periodical payments which include instalments of the mortgage debt as well as interest, war service grants committees are authorised to make grants in respect of the instalments of the mortgage debt as well as the interest?
§ Sir W. WomersleyThe answer is in the negative. I should add, however, that in the case of members of the Fighting Forces building societies are in general prepared to accept interest payments only and that a leaflet explaining this is sent to applicants by my Department where appropriate.
