HC Deb 18 July 1929 vol 230 cc664-5W
Sir B. PETO

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when the work of the Assessments Commission on British War Claims against Turkey will be completed and the awards made?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I understand that the Commission has completed the assessment of practically all the British claims, and has decided upon the payment of a final dividend. In view of the number of claims it will take some time before the payments can be completed, but distribution of the dividend is being put in hand as quickly as possible.
