Mrs. Middleton
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer at what point in the consideration by local authorities of schemes to acquire property within the area of declaratory orders the War Damage Commission remits to the owner of any property concerned or to the local authority the amount involved in the settlement of a converted value payment.
