HC Deb 24 October 1945 vol 414 cc2169-70W
Mr. Randall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is proposed to continue to require repayment of moneys advanced towards the support of dependants of British subjects interned in Belgium by the enemy occupying power.

Mr. Bevin

Yes, Sir. These moneys were advanced by His Majesty's Government against signed undertakings to repay on demand. The British subjects concerned, however, are not pressed to repay in cases where repayment would cause undue hardship.
