§ Mr. W. R. SMITHasked the Secretary of State for War whether the owners of houses along the East Coast which have been commandeered by the military have been paid the rent due under the agreement for the use of the same; whether such agreements are monthly for the purpose of payment; and, if such have not been paid, can he state when payments will be made?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI have no reason to Suppose that any rents due under the terms of an agreement are not being paid promptly and regularly (normally each month), but if my hon. Friend will give2268W me particulars of any case in which this is not being done I will have inquiries made.
