Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he will consider seeking reparations from Germany in respect of damage caused to UK cities during World War II.

​No. The issue of reparations was considered in detail immediately after World War II at the Paris Reparations Conference of 1945, with international agreement set down in the Final Act of the Conference, which came into force on 24 January 1946. Furthermore the Treaty on the Final Settlement with respect to Germany, signed by the British Government in 1990, renounced all claims the UK and other allied powers had in Germany, allowing Germany to become fully sovereign.
