HC Deb 08 March 1923 vol 161 cc726-7
90. Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the average rate of interest on the debt owed by the French Government to Great Britain; and whether it is the intention of the British Government to exercise its right to claim payment of interest in cash as from 1st October last?

Mr. BALDWIN

The rate is bank rate varying. As regards the second part, I would refer to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on the 15th February to the hon. Members for St. George's and Mid-Bedfordshire.
