§ 39. Sir F. WISEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the value of Government properties in ceded German territories 1162 which have been credited as reparations; and the amount debited to each country concerned under this head?
Mr. GUINNESSThe sum of 63 million gold marks (£3,150,000) was paid in 1921 by the Danish Government to the Reparation Commission in respect of the value of properties in the territory ceded to Denmark. This sum was applied by the Reparation Commission towards outstanding costs of armies of occupation, which was a prior charge to reparations. The properties in other ceded territories, in respect of which credit is due to Germany have not yet been definitely valued by the Reparation Commission or brought into the Inter-Allied reparation accounts.
