HC Deb 16 February 1915 vol 69 cc1001-2
17. Mr. ELLIS DAVIES

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the uneasiness caused by the threats made by the Germans to transfer the land and house property of the Belgian refugees unless they return, he can give any assur- ance that at the close of the War the property shall again become vested in its true owners?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey)

The question is one to be settled by the authorities in Belgium after the close of the War. It is one question, amongst others, in which we believe the result of the War will make justice and right prevail.
