HC Deb 12 February 1951 vol 484 cc3-4W
63. Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what answer was given by His Majesty's Government to the representations made by the United States authorities in Western Germany which preceded the release by the latter of Alfred von Krupp.

Mr. Ernest Davies

The United Kingdom High Commissioner was only asked what legal and administrative results would follow in the British zone if a decision were taken to rescind the confiscation of Krupp's property. The United Kingdom High Commissioner made a factual reply, based on the legislation in force in the British zone, which set out the difficulties arising from the extremely complicated legal position.
