Neutral Countries (War Damage)

48.

 Miss Rathbone
asked the Prime Minister whether any compensation will be paid to neutral countries for disasters which have been caused by unintentional infractions of their neutrality by war operations?

Mr. Butler
Yes, Sir. His Majesty's Government are willing to pay compensation for injuries and damage in all such cases where there is reasonable proof of British responsibility.

Miss Rathbone
Have these neutral countries where injuries have been received been informed that they must put in claims?

Mr. Butler
We are in touch with certain countries on this subject.
