HC Deb 29 May 1941 vol 371 cc2021-2W
Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the President of the Board of Trade Whether he is aware that the lack of definite information as to the method of assessing value of chattels lost or damaged through enemy action; the amount payable now, and the method of payment, is causing much discontent amongst the poorer classes; and whether he will arrange for full information on these matters to be available in a form more easily understood?

Captain Waterhouse

Full information on the private chattels scheme is contained in various memoranda which have been issued by the Board of Trade, particularly Notice No. 123, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. I have, however, given instructions for the immediate preparation and wide distribution of a short but comprehensive pamphlet in simple language on the points to which attention is directed in the Question.
