HC Deb 01 March 1927 vol 203 c216
10. Lord HENRY CAVENDISHBENTINCK

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to advise that all property, rights, and interests belonging to British-born German nationals at the date when the Treaty of Versailles came into force should forthwith be released from the charge created by Section I (xvi) of the Treaty of Peace Order, 1919?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

No, Sir. I do not think this would be fair to British creditors and claimants, particularly in view of the considerable releases of property which already have been, and are being, made.
