§ Mr. WALLACEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there are sufficient funds accruing from the sale of German assets in this country to liquidate the whole of the claims made for British property in Germany; and, if not, whether the claims made through the Clearing House and those to be decided by the mixed Arbitral Tribunal, will be settled on the same financial basis.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI have been asked to reply. The returns made to the Public Trustee indicate that sufficient funds may be expected from property in this country belonging to German nationals to meet the whole of the claims by British nationals in respect of their property rights and interests in Germany. The second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
