§ 38. Mr. A. M. SAMUELasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received information which will enable him to say what are to be the proportionate allocations of the national debt of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire among the States which formerly constituted that Empire?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Ronald McNeill)I understand that certain proposals have been laid before the Reparation Commission, but that no decision has been arrived at.
§ Mr. SAMUELWill my hon. Friend endeavour to obtain information, because the Board of Trade is unable to collect British claims until they get it?
§ Mr. McNEILLI will do what I can.
