§ 107. Mr. Hollisasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations for what reason Her Majesty's Government has agreed, without admitting legal liability, to pay £125,000 to the Basle Trading Company.
§ Mr. J. FosterThe payment was made to compromise the claim of the Basle Trading Company as it was considered a reasonable settlement of a much larger claim. While denying legal liability the possibility of Her Majesty's Government having an award made against them for a sum larger than that offered and accepted in settlement could not be excluded.
