Colonel NEWMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as a result of his recent meeting with the representatives of the Allied Powers in Paris, he is in a position to say what is 232 the total sum which this country can expect in the way of reparation or other payment from the German republic during the next financial year?
