HC Deb 30 October 1952 vol 505 c230W
21. Brigadier Clarke

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can now give information regarding the payments to be made under Part 2 of the War Damage Act, 1943.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

As my hon. and gallant Friend was informed on 27th May, in reply to his Question, the general settlement of these claims must await the fixing of a date by the Treasury under Section 85 (1) of the War Damage Act, 1943. I can only add that the amount outstanding is now approximately £28 million exclusive of interest.
