HC Deb 02 August 1923 vol 167 cc1743-4W
Mr. CLYNES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that full consideration has been promised for all belated claims made to the Royal Commission on Compensation for Suffering and Damage by Enemy Action, he can give a definite undertaking that the Reparation Claims Department, which is dealing with such claims, shall not be closed down until the Royal Commission has reported all such claims and this House has the opportunity of considering such Report?

Viscount WOLMER

The Reparation Claims Department will not be closed down till after the Royal Commission has made its final report, and all the belated claims have been dealt with.
