85. Mr. Whiteasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress has been made in settling claims made under the Czecho-Slovakia (Financial Claims) Act?
§ Sir K. WoodPayments in respect of interest due on the Czecho-Slovak State Loan of 1922, the City of Greater Prague Loan and the Skoda Works Debentures and payments in respect of claims made by the trustees of the Austrian Loan of 1934 have been made and are being made as and when amounts become due.
As regards the miscellaneous financial claims, some difficult questions have arisen and the number of cases has greatly exceeded expectation. Most of the questions arising at this stage have however now been cleared up and I hope that it will very shortly be possible to commence making payments in respect of accepted claims.
