asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty (1) why the Director of Navy Accounts has given notice to owners of requisitioned premises that, in future, rental compensation will not be paid unless they apply at the end of each period for which payment is due, giving full particulars upon a prescribed form; and whether he will give an assurance that money due unconditionally from his Department will be paid without the imposition of any condition;

(2) what steps he has taken to ensure that payments are made not later than the due dates in respect of requisitioned premises, since the Director of Navy Accounts has required application to be made upon Form 83 Ww-TRB at the end of each period for which rental compensation is due, and before payment each application is considered by D.N.A.7 (Bill Room), D.N.A. 6 (3c), Auditors, C.E. in C, and again by D.N.A. 7; and what necessary functions are performed by each of these authorities in regard to such applications.
