HC Deb 22 March 1917 vol 91 cc2057-8
61. Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the total amount of the loans advanced by this country to the late Czar of Russia and his Ministers?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It would not be in the public interest to add anything to the information already given to the House in regard to the advances made by this country to Allied Governments.

Mr. BILLING

May this House understand that the present, Government will call upon the new Russian Government to undertake the obligations of the late Government?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise on the question.
