§ Sir H. CAYZERasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of persons entitled to reparations for loss and suffering whilst interned in Ruhleben, the gross amount claimed by these persons, the actual amount received by the British Government in respect of these claims, and the actual amount paid over to these persons?
Mr. ALEXANDERI am asked to reply. Claims in respect of internment are not registered in the Reparation1352W Claims Department in relation to particular camps, and to extract the desired particulars in respect of claimants interned in Ruhleben, as distinguished from other internment camps, would involve an amount of time and labour which would not be justified at the present time, when the Department is working under high pressure.
