HC Deb 27 June 1921 vol 143 cc1775-6
15. Sir CYRIL COBB

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade if he will give the date upon which the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal under the Treaty of Peace was instituted; where it sits; how many cases are down for hearing; how many cases have been heard; and how many cases have been decided?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The Anglo-German Arbitral Tribunal was constituted in November, 1920, and sits at Winchester House, St. James's Square, S.W.1. Up to the present 29 cases have been set down for hearing, three of which have been argued, and in two of these judgment has been delivered.

Mr. KILEY

Is it a fact that a little time ago this Committee suspended its sittings, and is it intended that they shall be resumed at an early date?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I do not think so.

Mr. KILEY

There is an announcement in the Press to that effect.
