HC Deb 01 August 1922 vol 157 cc1256-7
51. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether the French Government have made any intimation that they propose to act independently about fresh territorial sanctions if the monthly indemnity is not paid when due?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir.

55. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any alteration in the policy of His Majesty's Government with regard to the Reparation Clauses of the Treaty of Versailles is in contemplation?

Sir R. HORNE

I would ask the hon. Member to await the statement that will be made during the Debate on the Appropriation Bill.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Yes, but is the right hon. Gentleman aware that we are not going to get a statement, but that the Prime Minister is going to wait for observations and criticisms and will then engage in the usual forensic display, and are we not to have an authoritative statement from any hon. Member of the Government?

Sir R. HORNE

If the hon. and galland Gentleman puts his questions well in Debate, no doubt he will get a reply.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

No! Questions are put, but never answered by the prime Minister.
