HC Deb 14 May 1959 vol 605 c183W
101. Mr. Gibson

asked the Minister of Defence what steps he has taken under Section 9 of the Visiting Forces Act, 1952, to ensure that soldiers of the United States Army, against whom judgment of the county court has been issued, are compelled to meet the claims and costs ordered by the court in favour of a British subject.

Mr. Sandys

The arrangements under Section 9 of the Visiting Forces Act, 1952, for the settlement of claims against members of visiting forces, were circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT of 15th April, 1954. A notice about civil claims against members of the United States Armed Forces was published in December, 1953.
