To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if, pursuant to his answer of 14 June, Official Report, columns 138–42, he will show for each outer London borough not listed (a) whether a claim for hurricane damage has been submitted and (b) whether such a claim is expected by his Department.

The outer London boroughs referred to in my answer of 14 June were the only ones to have submitted claims up to 23 June 1988 at columns 138–42. The Department has knowledge of no other claims for hurricane damage.
