§ Mr. Harveyasked the Secretary of State for War what progress has been made in carrying out the arrangements, instituted by him, for compensation to those who suffered the loss of valuables and other property on the steamship "Dunera ";and whether he can state the approximate total of the losses claimed?
§ Captain MargessonI am afraid that there is little that I can add at present to the answer given to my hon. Friend on 22nd May. The report and claims have not yet arrived from Australia but I hope to be in possession of full information at an early date. In the meantime in the case of internees leaving Australia for neutral countries, authority has been given to make reasonable payments on account.
