§ Captain W. BENNasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any payments have been made from such portion of the German indemnity as has been received by this country to meet the damage suffered by seamen and towards the wages of interned seamen; and, if so, to what amount and through what channel?
Mr. YOUNGI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement which I made on this subject on the 23rd instant in connection with the Supplementary Estimate of £100,000 for grants for compensation for damage by enemy action.
