HC Deb 19 February 1968 vol 759 cc8-9W
84. Sir W. Teeing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further progress he has made in his discussions with the United States Government concerning compensation for British nationals in the Philippines arising from the last war in the Far East; and what steps he now proposes to take in this matter.

Mr. William Rodgers:

It has been necessary to make a re-examination of the legal basis for our claims. Further representations will be made to the United States Government in the near future.
