HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 cc1284-5
52. Sir H. DALZIEL

asked the Prime Minister whether he can state approximately the amount of public money advanced to private concerns since the commencement of the War and how much, if any, has been repaid?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The answer to my right hon. Friend's question involves the collection of particulars from a large number of Departments. I shall, therefore, be obliged if he will be good enough to repeat the question in a fortnight's time.
