§ 21. Major M. WOODasked the President of the Board of Trade how much has been paid or become payable during the three months ended 30th November to the British Dyestuffs Corporation by way of commission or other allowances in respect to their appointment as Government agents for the disposal of dyes received from Germany as reparation: and what was the value credited to Germany for the dyes disposed of by the corporation during that time?
§ Sir P. LLOYD-GREAMEThe commission for the three months in question is, approximately, £4.600, and the proceeds of the sales of reparation dyestuffs during that period were, approximately, £66,000. The sterling value credited to Germany for the dyestuffs received during the period, which are, of course, by no means identical with the dyestuffs sold in this country in the same period, was, according to the Reparation Commission, about £107,000.
