37. Sir F. HALLasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether negotiations are proceeding for a British loan of £2,000,000 to the Iraq Government for irrigation and agricultural purposes; and, if so, will he state what security is proposed for the repayment of this sum?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part therefore does not arise.
