§ 63. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the question of the disposal of the money collected by the French Customs posts in the Ruhr district on British goods entering the occupied territory has yet been settled; and what steps are now being taken by His Majesty's Government to pursue the question?
§ Mr. BALDWINThere is nothing at present to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend on the 17th April.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman to say something in regard to the last part of the question, which has not been answered yet? What steps are the Government taking to get this money or some satisfaction? Are we doing anything?
§ Mr. BALDWINIn trying to obtain a settlement, as the hon. and gallant Member knows, it is always a difficult, thing to do where there is a number of parties.
Captain BENNWill the right. hon. Gentleman challenge the statement that none of the money that these British traders pay in Germany will ever come to the British Exchequer?
