§ 73. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the value of the reparation in kind received from Bulgaria up to date?
§ Mr. BALDWINI have made inquiries of the Reparation Commission, but find that it has no knowledge of the value of the deliveries in kind so far made by Bulgaria under the Treaty of Neuilly, as these deliveries were made in pursuance of the special provisions of Articles 127 and 128 of the Treaty, under which no credit |alls to. be given, to Bulgaria on Reparation Account. Bulgaria claims a credit in respect of certain deliveries made under the Armistice, but the Reparation Commission has not yet taken a decision in the matter.
§ Mr. DAVIESIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the estimated cost of the Reparation Commission is £33,000 per annum in our coinage, and if it is translated into Bulgarian exchange it works out at 750,000 sterling for 12 persons? Will he take steps to stop this scandal?
