HC Deb 06 November 1946 vol 428 c1387
49. Mr. James Hudson

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he is aware that the rights of the cooperative societies to hold and control property in the Russian zone, which were suppressed under Hitler, have been restored free of charge to the newly formed societies; and whether any similar step is contemplated at an early date in the British zone.

Mr. J. Hynd

Yes, Sir, this action is in conformity with the agreement reached by all four occupying Powers that such property should be returned where title or succession can be established.
