HC Deb 21 May 1952 vol 501 cc55-6W
60. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of the possible signing of a peace treaty with Western Germany, what steps he is taking concerning Hungarian assets in the British Zone of Germany about which Her Majesty's Government addressed a Note to Hungary in June, 1950, which also concerned the release of Mr. Sanders.

Mr. Nutting

The question of the restitution of assets in Western Germany which are claimed by countries formerly under German occupation is dealt with in the Contractual Settlement which, I hope, will shortly be concluded with the German Federal Republic.

The texts of these agreements will be laid before Parliament as soon as possible after signature. Meanwhile, I am not at liberty to disclose their provisions.
