§ 13. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is now in a position to make a statement regarding the payment of compensation by the Yugoslav Government for British property taken over by them.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Mayhew)I regret that there is at present nothing to add to the written reply of 18th November to the hon. and gallant Member for Seven-oaks (Colonel Ponsonby).
§ Air-Commodore HarveyDoes not the Under-Secretary agree that the Americans have had much better treatment than have British interests, and will he give an assurance to the House now that this matter will be followed up with a view to trying to get better treatment for the British interests involved?
§ Mr. MayhewI cannot comment on the first part of the supplementary question, since treatment is at present under discussion.
