HC Deb 01 November 1948 vol 457 cc9-10W
10. Mr. Platts-Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the negotiations with the Government of the U.S.A. regarding the possible retention in Germany of equipment scheduled for removal as reparations, have now been concluded; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mayhew

The recent negotiations with the United States and French Governments with regard to the manner of reviewing in the interests of European recovery certain portions of the reparations lists led to the arrangements announced on 27th October. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of this announcement to which I have as yet nothing to add.
