HC Deb 26 July 1923 vol 167 cc749-50W
Colonel NEWMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether the money and indus- trial products which may be taken by our Allies during the military occupation by them of the Ruhr district are accounted for to or come under the purview of the Reparations Commission in accordance with the Treaty of Versailles; and, if so, what is the approximate total value in sterling or francs of the money or commodities so seized since the commencement of the military occupation?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The money and industrial products taken have not up to the present been accounted for to the Reparation Commission. No information as to the value of the seizures has been received officially by the Reparation Commission or by His Majesty's Government.
