§ Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Latvian Government has expropriated Jewish textile factories and breweries; will he find out what compensation, if any, is being paid; and whether this action is in keeping with the rights of the Jewish minorities in Latvia?
§ Viscount CranborneHis Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Riga has reported that the Latvian Government have recently taken certain powers to liquidate commercial and industrial undertakings, and have applied them in certain cases. I am not aware that these powers have been exercised against Jewish interests in the manner described by the hon. Member; but I will call for a report on the subject.
