HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 cc2411-2W
Captain BOWYER

asked the President of the Board of Trade how much of the £17,693,807, belonging to nationals of Austria and Hungary and now registered with the Public Trustee, belongs to Austrians, to Hungarians, and to Czecho-Slovakians or to former Austro-Hungarian subjects who have become allies respectively?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have obtained a report from the Public Trustee as custodian stating that it has not yet been possible to complete the analysis of the figures referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend, but he has furnished the following rough estimate from the information at present in his possession:—

Austria £12,500,000
Hungary £1,400,000
Jugo-Slavia £400,000
Czecho-Slovakia £2,050,000
Trieste £1,150,000
Trentino £190,000

These figures must be treated as only approximate and subject to modification.
