Discussion of claims and counterclaims between Britain and Israel will begin at Tel Aviv in a few weeks, sir Stafford Cripps, Chancellor of the Exchequer, told the House of Commons today.
Replying to questions, Cripps said it was not proposed to make any further sterling releases to Israel until negotiations had been held at Tel Aviv. A release of 7,000,000 pounds-about $28,000,000–from the blocked Israeli balance was arranged at a joint conference in London some weeks ago. He said no counterclaims were made by the British Government against Israel at that time.
