§ Mr. Lawasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the fact that supplementary payments have been made to cover rises in prices in respect of war damage claims for private chattels, he will arrange for the value of payments made under the War Damage Business Scheme to be similarly increased, since it is clearly impossible to replace plant and equipment today at the prices ruling at the time of the loss.
§ Mr. BelcherThe Government, as at present advised, do not propose to make any such supplementary payment.
