§ 118. Sir C. Edwardsasked the Minister of Town and Country Planning if he is aware that 12 semi-detached houses on Glasllwch Crescent, Rogerstone, Monmouthshire, were destroyed by enemy action in May, 1941, and cannot be rebuilt on the same site, because of a proposed trunk road to be built at the suggestion of the Minister of Transport; and whether, as there is no provision in the War Damage Acts for a cost-of-works payment to be made for houses to be erected on another site, and as a 1939 value payment will not provide anything like a similar house to that which was destroyed, if he will look into this matter with a view to rectifying it.
§ Mr. SilkinYes, Sir, I am aware of the facts related, and steps have had to be taken to safeguard the line of the proposed new trunk road. As regards the compensation under the War Damage Acts, this is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer
