HC Deb 23 November 1920 vol 135 cc223-4
59. Mr. G. THORNE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) whether any amount additional to the £18,000,000 voted in Vote 10, Unclassified Services, Sub-head A, has been granted to any ally since the publication of the Estimates; (2) whether he can state the names of the allies to whom loans are made, Vote 10, Unclassified Services, Sub-head A, and the amount which is paid to each?

Mr. BALDWIN

The advances made from Sub-head A of the Vote for Loans to Allies are in respect of remanets, or adjustments, arising out of the War. The actual advances in the current year to date are as follow:—

£
To France 4,318,492
To Italy 110,000
To Belgium 13,000
To Serbia 414,744
To Roumania 5,214
Total £4,861,450
Further advances will be necessary before the close of the year, but I anticipate that the total will be well within the voted sum.

Mr. HOGGE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any contribution has been made to the Greeks in Anatolia?

Mr. BALDWIN

I must have notice of that question.
