HC Deb 14 March 1922 vol 151 c1962
61. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give the amount of the indebtedness of the Russian Government upon the outbreak of War in August, 1914, to British investors in Russian guaranteed bonds?

Sir R. HORNE

The answer is in the negative. There is no available information which could be furnished to the hon. Member on this subject.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Is not the amount about £180,000,000 owing to British investors in Russian Government loans?

Sir R. HORNE

I cannot get any figures which are reliable on the subject.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Might I have the privilege of sending some particulars to the right hon. Gentleman?

Sir R. HORNE

I am always glad of information.
