Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will explain the discrepancy between the present figure of the claims of British nationals against the Turkish Government, i e., £40,000,000, and the figure of £23,000,000 given by the then Parliamentary Secretary to the Department of Overseas Trade on 21st February, 1921, to Mr. A. Baldwin Raper?
