§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Lieut.-Colonel Sir R. Sanders)I have been asked to answer this question. This information is not immediately 834 available, but inquiries are being made and I will communicate further with the hon. and gallant Member in due course.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODWill continuing liabilities of this sort be set off against the£600,000,000 owed us by the French Government?
§ Sir R. SANDERSI did not say that.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODMay we be assured that these moneys will not be paid over, but will be set off against the money owed us by France?
