HC Deb 23 May 1974 vol 874 cc248-9W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those countries in receipt of British aid where, through the operation of exchange control regulations, British subjects have not been able to repatriate all their assets.

Mr. Hattersley

I regret that the information is not readily available and the cost of obtaining it would not be justified.

Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those countries in receipt of British aid where compensation in respect of nationalisation and expropriation has yet to be paid, in so far as details are readily available.
