HC Deb 05 May 1938 vol 335 c1059W
Mr. Porritt

asked the Prime Minister whether he can make any statement as to the position of British Jews owning property in Germany; and what steps have been taken to protect their interests?

Mr. Butler:

A German decree of 26th April lays down that foreign nationals who are regarded under German law as Jews shall furnish the authorities with a notification and valuation of their property in Germany when that property exceeds 5,000 marks in value. My Noble Friend is in communication with the German Government on the subject.
