HC Deb 05 November 1940 vol 365 c1203
59. Mr. Wedgwood

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the monthly expenditure out of British funds made to General de Gaulle's officers and men?

Captain Crookshank

I regret that it is not in the public interest to give the information asked for.

Mr. Wedgwood

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that considerable sums are being wasted on maintaining a force the officers of which are largely Fascists, such as Prince Starhemberg, and who are not prepared to fight against the French, the Italians or indeed anyone?
