HC Deb 19 December 1938 vol 342 c2485W
Sir C. Cayzer

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is now in the position to make any statement on the subject of the insurance of private property against war risks?

Captain Wallace

I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 28th September in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for East Dorset (Mr. Hall-Caine) as to the inappropriateness of an insurance scheme in this connection. My right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to make a further statement on the matter.
