HC Deb 10 March 1925 vol 181 cc1131-2
2. Sir JOHN MARRIOTT

asked the President of the Board of Trade the reason why the clearing office for enemy debts, notwithstanding the fact that adequate funds are already in the hands of the office, continues to hold up the balance of 5s. in the £, being payment due to accepted claimants for compensation under Article 297 of the Treaty of Versailles?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

A further dividend of 5s. in the £, making with the amount already paid, a total dividend of 20s. in the £ on the awards of the Anglo-German Mixed Arbitral Tribunal in respect of claims for compensation under Article 297 (e), will be paid at the end of next month.
