HC Deb 13 July 1932 vol 268 c1264
1. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any information as to whether the resolution adopted by the Prussian Parliament to confiscate the property of East European Jews will affect those East European Jews who are British citizens; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)

The right hon. Gentleman presumably refers to a resolution which was passed by the Prussian Diet on the 24th of June, favouring, amongst other measures, the confiscation of the property of East European Jews who have immigrated into Prussia since the outbreak of war. I understand that there is little or no chance of any measure in this sense receiving the force of law.
