HC Deb 08 July 1924 vol 175 cc1965-6
59. Sir F. WISE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the date of the last payment and the amount received from the Reparation Commission; and if the amount was credited in London?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The reparation receipts of this country at present are not derived from cash payments by the Reparation Commission, but from the levy under the German Reparation (Recovery) Act, and the proceeds of the sale of deliveries in kind, e.g., dyestuffs. Such receipts are paid directly to His Majesty's Government, which renders an account of them to the Reparation Commission.
