HC Deb 07 November 1962 vol 666 cc67-8W
59. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Transport what arrangements he makes for payments for damage to property, crops and machinery, resulting from the construction of roads, which is not covered under the contractor's indemnity.

Mr. Marples

Claims notified to my Department are investigated to establish the cause of damage. When I am satisfied as to the cause of damage, my lia- bility and the amount of the claim, payment is made to the claimant or his representative.
