HC Deb 30 July 1924 vol 176 c2057
56. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any payment has yet been made, and, if so, to what amount, to British nationals whose property was requisitioned by Turkish authorities in and around Constantinople during the course of the War?

Mr. LUNN

Claims in respect of damage to property in and around Constantinople have not been classified separately; but an amount of £626,869 has been paid, in accordance with the recommendations of the Royal Commission presided over by Lord Sumner, in respect of loss of or damage to the property of British nationals in Turkish territory generally.
