HC Deb 23 July 1918 vol 108 c1636
50. Mr. STEWART

asked whether, in winding up the German banks, care will be taken that any claims now pending against them by British subjects will be allowed to proceed and will not be prejudiced by any action that may be taken on this subject in the immediate future?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Wardle)

I have no reason to think that any claim pending against German banks by British subjects will be prejudiced by the Orders which have been made for the winding up of the businesses of these banks.

Mr. PRINGLE

Why have they not been wound up before?
