HC Deb 22 June 1943 vol 390 cc1036-7W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Health whether he has now had further inquiry made into the case of Mr. C. Broad, of 3, Sugworth Crescent, Radley, near Abingdon, who, having had evacuees billeted upon him, had furniture, etc., damaged to the value of over £25; and why, in such circumstances, the householder cannot be compensated either by his Department or by the local authority on whose orders the evacuees were put into Mr. Broad's house whilst he was away on war work?

Miss Horsbrugh

As my right hon. Friend has already explained to my hon. and gallant Friend in letters he has sent to him on this matter, Mr. Broad's claim has been very fully investigated. I am advised that the sum offered to Mr. Broad is reasonable, and my right hon. Friend is unable to re-open the matter.
