HC Deb 24 February 1921 vol 138 cc1139-40
35. Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the Prime Minister what contribution Germany has so far made towards the cost of the upkeep of the Army of the Rhine; and in what form such contribution has been made?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON (Parliamentary Secretary, War Office)

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. The amount received by the War Office towards the cost of the upkeep of the Army of the Rhine is about 346 million marks in local currency for the current needs of the force. For other receipts, I must refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
