HC Deb 19 February 1930 vol 235 cc1408-9W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any payments have been made on account of suffering and damage arising out of enemy action during the War to British nationals who were, at the outbreak of hostilities, permanently domiciled outside the British Empire; and whether any claims have been refused on the grounds that the British nationals in question were permanently domiciled outside the British Empire at that period and had every intention of remaining so domiciled?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second part in the negative.
