HC Deb 02 October 1924 vol 177 c304
25. Sir PHILIP PILDITCH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has received any information as to the putting into force by the Brazilian Government of financial reforms recommended by the British commission which recently visited Brazil?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Snowden)

The answer is in the negative.

Sir P. PILDITCH

Does my right hon. Friend mean that it is difficult to make inquiries on this matter, but that he anticipates being in a position to get the information shortly?

Mr. SNOWDEN

No. The hon. Member's question is as to whether I have received any information, and I have received no such information. That is the extent of my information.

Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a great deal depends on the information as to whether we manufacturers and industrialists can safely trade with and give greater credit to Brazil?

Mr. SNOWDEN

That may be so, but I have no information on the subject.

Sir P. PILDITCH

Will the right hon. Gentleman seek the information, and endeavour to obtain it?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I have no objection at all to trying to get what information may be available. I will do that with pleasure.
