§ 146. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what steps are taken to ensure that the repair of war damage is efficiently performed when it is paid for by the War Damage Commission.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThe responsibility for seeing that war damage repairs are properly carried out rests upon the building owner to whose order the works were executed. A cost of works claim upon the War Damage Commission may include the appropriate fees of an architect or surveyor employed by the claimant to supervise the execution of the work and to see that it is efficiently performed. The Commission cannot accept liability for the cost of remedying defective workmanship.
