HC Deb 01 March 1945 vol 408 c1572W
Mr. Loftus

asked the Secretary of State for War if some method of compensation will be devised for farmers whose crops have been damaged by rabbits from defence works and minefields.

Mr. A. Henderson

This question has been very carefully and sympathetically considered, and I regret that it is not possible to pay compensation to farmers whose crops have been damaged by rabbits in the circumstances set out in my hon. Friend's Question.
