§ Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how long negotiations have been proceeding with the Government of Czechoslovakia for the implementation of the Anglo-Czech Money and Property Agreement; what is the number and total value of British claims outstanding under the agreement; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe British and Czechoslovak Governments are agreed that there should be negotiations on outstanding financial questions, but I cannot forecast when it will be possible for progress to be made.
Total private claims presented or due to be presented to the Czechoslovak Government number approximately 1,250, and are estimated at £5,570,000. These include those under the Money and Property Agreement.
