HC Deb 25 October 1944 vol 404 c162
45. Sir Leonard Lyle

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the extent to which Germany has filled occupied countries with worthless marks, though accepted compulsorily at their face value, the Allies will make a condition of any peace treaty the recognition and repayment by Germany of this money at its face value.

The Prime Minister (Mr. Churchill)

The issue of currency is only one of the many ways in which Germany has exploited the countries which she has occupied. I cannot at this stage say in what way her various exactions will be dealt with at the final settlement.
