§ 45. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether the three issues of reparation bonds by Germany, which were to have been delivered last year, were in fact delivered, or whether this scheme has fallen through; and, if not, when it is proposed to issue the first series of bonds?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hilton Young)German Government bonds in respect of the three series provided for in the Schedule of Payments were duly delivered by the German Government and are held by the Reparation Commission.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODWhen is it proposed to issue the first series?
§ Mr. YOUNGI must have misunderstood the hon. and gallant Member's question. I thought he was referring to the German Government bonds.
