§ 5. Commander BELLAIRSasked whether any estimate has been formed of the indemnities which Germany has already levied on France, Belgium, and Russia by levies, fines, and organised systems of looting in the conquered territories?
§ Lord R. CECILI can only surmise that estimates have probably been formed by the Governments of the countries directly concerned, but such estimates, if made, have not been communicated to His Majesty's Government.
§ Commander BELLAIRSWould it not be very useful to have an estimate for propaganda purposes?
§ Lord R. CECILI am much obliged to my hon. and gallant Friend for the suggestion. I shall certainly consider it.
