§ 23. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the staff of the clearing house (ex-enemy debts) at present employed either in Great Britain or overseas; and whether he contemplates winding up this Department in the near future?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to a similar question on the 1st April, which shows the substantial progress made towards the completion of the work of this office.
§ Mr. DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say when he anticipates that the work of this Department will be finished?
§ Mr. GRAHAMNo, I have frequently explained to the House that everything is being done to wind up the work, but that there are still many very difficult and highly technical cases under consideration.
