HC Deb 21 January 1941 vol 368 c61W
Sir G. Jones

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the compensation to persons in respect of furniture, clothes and other possessions lost through enemy action, may be increased to such an amount as may be necessary to cover the rise in prices due to the Purchase Tax; and whether such increase may be made retrospective?

Sir K. Wood

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to-day to the hon. Member for North Lambeth (Mr. G. Strauss).
