HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 c204W
59. Sir W. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps he plans to take to protect the British banks who hold Russian deposits from the Tsarist and pre-1939 days when the decision to pay out this money to claimants is made.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

As no decision has yet been taken on the assets, I cannot answer hypothetical questions on the protection of banks.
