§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the number of outstanding claims of British subjects against Turkey which have been registered in the Reparation Claims Department; and the number and amount of those claims which have and have not been met?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI have been asked to reply. The number of outstanding claims by British nationals in respect of loss and damage suffered in Turkey registered with the Reparation Claims Department against the funds voted by Parliament for ex-gratia payments to sufferers by enemy action, in which forms have been completed and returned, is 80. With regard to the last part of the question, £773,194 has been paid in respect of 1,612 claims which were admitted to rank against the said funds, but it is not yet possible to state what amount will be paid in respect of the 80 claims which are outstanding.
