§ 71. Mr. Roseasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the decision in respect of former inmates of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, he will now reconsider the question of compensation in respect of British citizens deported during the Second World War to Nazi Germany from the Channel Islands.
§ Mr. William Rodgers:No. My right hon. Friends decision regarding the Sachsenhausen claimants in no way changes the rules of the 1964 Compensation Scheme which did not include provision for those deported to civilian internment.
§ 72. Mr. Roseasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will take action to secure an agreement with the German Federal Republic and/or the German Democratic Republic on compensation for British victims of deportation 269W from the Channel Islands who are currently excluded from compensation because their places of internment do not fall within the accepted definition of concentration camps.
§ Mr. William Rodgers:There is no possibility of putting forward further claims arising out of the war against Germany at present. It remains the policy of Her Majestys Government to work for a settlement that will bring about a peace treaty with a united Germany. I cannot prophesy what claims will be admitted in such a settlement.
