HC Deb 17 July 1918 vol 108 c1036
36. Major PEEL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether there is any part of the Empire which has failed to make the usual return of enemy property located within that part of the Empire?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Albert Stanley)

Returns have been received by the Custodian from all parts of the Empire with the exception of Canada, Basutoland, Brunei, and Sarawak. Steps have been taken to obtain the missing returns.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Have any steps been taken to obtain similar information from the occupied colonies, such as German East Africa?

Sir A. STANLEY

I am afraid I cannot now give an answer to that.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is the same policy to be pursued there?

Sir A. STANLEY

Perhaps my hon. Friend will give me notice.
