HC Deb 08 August 1940 vol 364 cc437-8W
Sir E. Bennett

asked the Home Secretary whether any compensation will be accorded to retailers for the loss of fireworks recently seized by the police in accordance with the Regulations?

Sir J. Anderson

I have considered this matter very carefully, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but the conclusion has been reached that it is not possible to entertain claims for compensation.
