HL Deb 29 November 1979 vol 403 cc563-4WA
Lord BARNBY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What amounts are owed by Tanzania to British subjects arising from expropriation of their assets.

Lord CARRINGTON

Claims amounting to approximately £5 million are out-standing against the Tanzanian Government in respect of the expropriated assets of British subjects. This figure does not include the Tanzanian assets of Lonrho which were taken over last year: the outcome of an independent audit of Lonrho's assets is still awaited.
