HC Deb 28 November 1945 vol 416 cc1503-4W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether in the case of a person whose motor-car was destroyed by enemy action and the compensation in money offered is not sufficient to provide another motor-car, he will take steps to provide him with a motor-car of equivalent value from motor-cars at the disposal of the Government instead of the money.

Sir S. Cripps

No, Sir. We cannot make exceptional provision for this form of war damage.
