HC Deb 21 February 1921 vol 138 c538
32. Sir B. FALLE

asked the Prime Minister if he is aware that this country has remitted some £80,000,000 of debt due by the Belgian people for whom we fought; and if he can remit their debts to the great Dominions who came to fight for us, or if he will at least remit the interest on these debts?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The question is based on a misapprehension. The debt of Belgium to the Allies was not remitted, but the British, French and American Governments have agreed to accept German bonds in lieu of the Belgian obligations.
