asked the Minister of Shipping what steps he is taking to ensure that the freight money paid to Danish owners of shipping now in the hands of the Allies will not benefit Germany?

:I have been asked to reply. The compensation to be paid for the use of these ships will be so arranged as not to involve any benefit to Germany.

Are the payments to be retained in England?

The payments will certainly have to be deferred.

Are we to understand from that reply that payments for these services will not be remitted to Denmark?

Yes, Sir.
