HC Deb 21 March 1917 vol 91 c1886
56. Mr. GINNELL

asked what amount of British and Irish public money was paid last year for corn in Roumania; whether any corn was obtained for it; what is the prospect of recovering the money for which no value has been received; and where an audited account of the transaction can be seen?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I have nothing to add to the reply returned to the hon. Member on the 21st February last.

Mr. GINNELL

The right hon. Gentleman has omitted to answer the last clause of this question, as to where an audited account of the transaction can be seen.

Mr. BONAR LAW

The transaction, as the House will understand, ought not to be made public.
