§ Mr. STUART-WORTLEYasked the Prime Minister whether any provision beyond the Government Air-craft Damage Insurance scheme can be made for the compensation of voluntary hospitals in which wounded soldiers are received free of charge against such damage?
Mr. RUNCIMANNow that the Government insurance scheme, with moderate rates of premium, is in operation, it would, I am afraid, be impossible to make any payment even in the case of a voluntary hospital unless the property is insured under the scheme.
