Mr. Rostron Duckworthasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the average payment, and the maximum payment in any case, made in respect of claims for the replacement of essential furniture in houses destroyed by enemy action?
§ Sir K. WoodI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave him on 28th January. Information is not available as to the maximum amount paid in any one case. The nature and amount of the payments to be made in future have been reviewed in connection with the War Damage Bill, and I hope to make a full statement on the matter when the Bill has been recommitted.
