HC Deb 03 July 1939 vol 349 c938W
Mr. Hammersley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can say what steps are being taken in order to bring about a settlement of claims against the Czech assets now held in this country; and whether he can give an assurance that a settlement will be made before the Summer Recess?

Sir J. Simon

I am not yet in a position to make a statement on this complicated matter. If my hon. Friend will repeat his question in, say, a fortnight's time, I hope to be able to give more information.
