HC Deb 02 August 1971 vol 822 c201W
6. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the total of claims against private and public authorities as well as the Government in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics which remain outstanding; and what steps are being taken by Her Majesty's Government to get these debts honoured.

Mr. Anthony Royle

It is not possible to state with any accuracy the total of these claims. I can assure my hon. Friends that we continue to impress upon the Soviet Government their responsibility for compensating the claimants.
