MR. BRYNMOR JONES (Swansea District)To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the compensation due to the sufferers by the Waima incident has yet been paid by the Government of the French Republic; and, if not, what is the cause of the prolonged delay in the settlement; has any correspondence taken place between His Majesty's Government and the Government of the Republic of France since the publication of the award in the matter; and, if so, will he lay it upon the Table.
(Answered by Lord Cranborne.) The French Ambassador has been authorised to settle this claim, and the money will be paid during the next few days.
