HC Deb 10 February 1986 vol 91 cc334-5W
Mr. Nicholas Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress he has made in negotiating with the East German Government compensation for British citizens whose property was appropriated by the Nazis prior to 1945.

Mr. Eggar

We held a plenary session of talks about these claims which arise mainly for the period post 8 May 1945 with the German Democratic Republic in London in March 1985. Good progress was made at that meeting and a programme of work was agreed to help speed up the remainder of the negotiation. Most of that work is now well in hand. We hope to hold further meetings with the German Democratic Republic this year.
