§ Mr. Dryden Brookasked the Minister of Works what is the procedure whereby individual owners may still claim compensation for the loss of railings and gates requisitioned as scrap; and to whom such claim should be addressed.
77W
§ Mr. KeyClaims for compensation should be made on a form which can be obtained according to the situation of the property affected, as follows:
In London region, from the Assistant Director of Lands and Accommodation (Salvage), 44 Lowndes Square, S.W.r.
In other regions, Wales and Scotland, from the regional compensation surveyors at the undermentioned addresses:—
- Government Buildings, Broadway West, Gosforth, Newcastle, 3.
- Block 4, Government Buildings, Chalfont Drive, Western Boulevard, Nottingham
- Whiteknights Road, Earley, Reading.
- 5, Priory Road, Bristol, 8.
- Forest Road, Hawkenbury, Tunbridge Wells.
- Government Buildings, Lawnswood, Leeds, 6.
- Shaftesbury Road, Brooklands Avenue, Cambridge.
- Somerset House, 37, Temple Street, Birmingham, 2.
- 76, Newton Street, Manchester.
- (Central Office for Wales), 43, Park Place, Cardiff.
- 122, George Street, Edinburgh.
The taking of railings and gates for scrap was discontinued in September, 1944. The statutory limit for lodging claims is six months from the date upon which the requisitions became effective, but claims lodged since March or April, 1945, have so far been accepted for consideration. I have, however, now decided that as adequate time in which claims might be lodged has already elapsed, no new claims submitted after the 1st June, 1948, will be entertained and no further extension of time will be granted.
