asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that insurance companies and Lloyds are not prepared to quote for war risks to property, His Majesty's Government intend to promote any scheme whereby a property owner may insure against such a risk?

I have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. and learned Friend to the answers given on 2nd and 9th November to the hon. Member for Dudley (Mr. Joel), of which I am sending him copies.
