Mr. Rostron Duckworthasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the latitude given to the War Damage Commission to readjust the plans for reconstructing destroyed buildings, how, in reaching such decisions, the views of women, and especially women architects, are obtained?
§ Sir K. WoodI am informed by the War Damage Commission that no occasion has as yet arisen for obtaining the views of women in general or of women architects in particular in relation to its decisions. When the Commission finds it necessary to impose conditions on reconstruction, the deciding factor will be the public interest, as defined in Section 7 of the War Damage Act and Treasury directions thereunder.
