HC Deb 23 February 1949 vol 461 c289W
82. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what further consideration he is giving to the question of compensation to those individuals who suffered severe war damage in Hong Kong.

Mr. Creech Jones

The statement circulated in reply to a Question on 26th April last year by my hon. Friend the Member for Swindon (Mr. T. Reid) made it clear that no compensation in respect of general war damage is being paid from Hong Kong Government funds. I am sending a copy of this statement, to which I have nothing to add, to the hon. Member.
