§ Sir R. Glynasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the present status of the island of Lussin Piccolo, in the Adriatic, where property of Italians and other nationals has been seized; and has any decision been agreed as to the final disposal of this island which would permit such seizure.
§ Mr. MayhewThe island of Lussin, on which the town of Lussin Piccolo stands, is under Yugoslav occupation. Its ultimate disposal will be decided in the Italian Peace Treaty and there is a recommendation from the Paris Peace Conference to the Council of Foreign Ministers under which the island would in fact be ceded to Yugoslavia. I have no information as to whether property on the island belonging to Italians or to other nationals has been seized. The disposal of Italian property in territory to be ceded by Italy, should, in the view of His Majesty's Government, be regulated by the Peace Treaty and this question is in fact before the Council of Foreign Ministers who have as yet taken no decision. If the hon. Member has any information regarding the seizure of property belonging to the nationals of other Governments, I should be interested to have it.
