The government has announced the opening of a consultation on the date for final claims to the Enemy Property Payments and Baltic States schemes. The government has said that both schemes, which issued compensation to victims of Nazi persecution from assets the British government confiscated from residents of enemy countries, will soon be closed. According to the government’s press release, the number of claims received by the schemes has dropped considerably in recent years. The government has set a provisional date for closure on 9 September 2022, pending feedback from the consultation. The consultation will run until 31 March 2022.
