HC Deb 17 June 1941 vol 372 c505W
Mr. W. Green

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the desirability of providing householders, who have suffered as a result of enemy action, with the services of an independent surveyor to look after their interests when damages are assessed on similar lines to the help already given to poor persons to secure legal aid?

Sir K. Wood

There is no provision under the War Damage Act in this connection. The matter was considered in discussions in Parliament. I understand that the professional associations concerned have initiated a scheme for assisting poor claimants with advice at low fees.
