“The treaty was signed on behalf of the UK by then Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd. German unification was debated in the House at the time and the treaty was tabled in the House for approval under the Ponsonby rule.

Mr. Kawczynski pledged to continue to seek clarification on the reasons for this landmark decision.

The damage done to European countries after World War II was repaired in large part through a financial deal with the Americans known as the Marshall Plan.

Britain did not finish repaying the loans contracted under this until 2006 – 61 years after the end of the war.
