With regard to this curious series of anomalies which seems to be appearing as a result of the differing provisions of these two Measures, I would like to ask the Chancellor's consideration of a class of case which immediately arises from what we have done in this Committee. There is, let us say, the owner-occupier of a war-damaged factory who would, if it was not acquired under this Bill, get a cost-of-works payment, which would be a sum of money to repair his damaged property and put him in possession of it again in order that he may carry on his occupation.
