HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c362
38. Captain Bullock

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what British properties in Yugoslavia have been taken over by the State; and what compensation has been paid for them.

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Ernest Bevin)

No British properties in Yugoslavia have been nationalised. Indeed, the Yugoslav Government have announced their intention of returning foreign properties to their owners, and an Anglo-Yugoslav Mixed Commission is shortly to be set up in Belgrade for the purpose of settling this question in so far as British properties are concerned. The question of compensation has not, therefore, arisen.

Mr. Gammans

Are there any difficulties over transfer of currency?

Mr. Bevin

That does not arise in the Question.
