HC Deb 19 April 1948 vol 449 cc112-3W
Sir A. Salter

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the restoration and restitution of Hungarian property in the British zone of Germany, provided in Article 30 of the Peace Treaty, has been carried out; and what steps the Hungarian Government, on their part, have taken to compensate British nationals for loss and damage to property in Hungary under the conditions of Article 26 of that Treaty.

Mr. Mayhew

The restitution of identified Hungarian property in the British zone of Germany is being carried out. As far as I am aware, no compensation has yet been paid to British nationals by the Hungarian Government in respect of loss or damage to property in Hungary under Article 26 of the Treaty. Arrangements have, however, been made to assist British subjects in the presentation of their claims for compensation to the Hungarian Government and it is hoped that a public notice will be issued shortly giving instructions to claimants as to how to proceed.
