HC Deb 27 April 1939 vol 346 c1330W
Mr. Sexton

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what was the total sum of money paid by His Majesty's Treasury after the Great War to Krupps and other German owners of armament patents for the use of such patents by His Majesty's Forces during the War 1914–18?

Captain Crookshank

So far as I have been able to ascertain, the only payment was one of £40,000 credited to the German Clearing Office in favour of Krupps.
