HC Deb 27 October 1952 vol 505 c168W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will take the necessary action to see that before any payment or return of treasures is made to Herr Krupp, full compensation and return of treasures is made to those persons who lost their possessions through the action of the Germans during the last war.

Mr. Nutting

The hon. Member is presumably referring to claims by Herr Alfried Krupp concerning alleged losses of furniture and other articles from his house at Essen during the Occupation period and before it was derequisitioned. The validity of these claims is under examination.
