§ 68. Lieut. - Colonel HOWARD - BURYasked the Prime Minister whether, seeing that the United States of America have demanded a payment from the Allies of 241 million dollars for the cost of their Army of Occupation in Germany, and that this amount exceeds the total amount received by the Allies from Germany in respect of the cost of occupation of their armies, he will say what, under these circumstances, the Government propose to do?
§ Captain KINGMy right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer can at present add nothing to the answer which he gave to the hon. Member for Penrith and Cocker-mouth (Mr. Collison) on the 26th February.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYWill this amount be taken out of future payments from Germany, or from those which we have already received?
§ Captain KINGI think my hon. and gallant Friend will find that in the answer to which I have referred him.
