HC Deb 16 March 1922 vol 151 cc2355-6
42. Captain BENN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the consent of the American Government is required before any actual payments are made by the Reparations Commission to the Allies?

Mr. YOUNG

The answer is in the negative.

Captain BENN

May I ask whether the American Army remained on the Rhine at the request of the Allies?

Mr. YOUNG

I am afraid that these questions rather relate to a historical subject—

Captain BENN

Financial.

Mr. YOUNG

I should be very diffident about answering without some notice.
