§ Mr. William RodgersAs I said in reply to the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion (Sir W. Teeling) on 22nd January, it is the Government's intention that the persons elegible to apply for compensation should include those whose claims were registered under the Foreign Compensation (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) Registration Order, 1959. The claims registrable under the Order included claims by British subjects for property lost in the Baltic States and ceded territories.—[Vol. 757, c.7 and 8.]
