HC Deb 31 March 1947 vol 435 cc261-2W
93. Mr. Pickthorn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government has, or is getting, a full schedule of British interests falling under the Yugoslav Nationalisation Decree of 5th December, 1946; and what His Majesty's Government is doing to assist claimants for compensation under that decree.

Mr. McNeil

A full schedule of British interests falling under the Yugoslav Nationalisation Decree of 5th December, 1946, is being compiled. As my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary informed the hon. Member for Reigate (Mr. Touche) on 26th February, His Majesty's Government consider the best method of settling compensation claims would be through the establishment of an Anglo-Yugoslav Mixed Commission for the settlement of compensation. Negotiations for setting up such a Commission are still being conducted with the Yugoslav Government.
