HC Deb 30 April 1923 vol 163 cc956-7
41. Mr. BECKER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if His Majesty's Government has received any proposals from the German Government for settlement of the reparations question?

Mr. McNEILL

The last proposal of this nature received by His Majesty's Government was that which was considered and rejected by the conference of Prime Ministers held in London in December last. The text of the proposal is contained in Command Paper 1812, paragraphs 57–60.

48. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Prime Minister if the financial proposals made by him at Paris in January, whereby the payments to be made by the Allies and Germany to Great Britain are not sufficient by 100,000,000 to meet the British payments to America, are cancelled?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Baldwin)

We retain an entirely free hand as regards the future on all questions of reparations.
