HC Deb 25 May 1944 vol 400 c943W
Mr. J. Beattie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the War Damage Commission intend to make grants out of the amount of compensation they will be entitled to receive to property owners in Northern Ireland, whose property was bombed three years ago, to enable them to repair the damage done and thus contribute their share to the rehousing of the people.

Sir J. Anderson

As regards war-damaged properties of all kinds (including houses) for which a cost of works payment is appropriate, the Commission pays, and always has paid, in Northern Ireland as elsewhere, the proper cost of any works done for making good the war damage to the person who has incurred the cost, provided that he obtained any necessary licences or consents.
