HC Deb 02 October 1924 vol 177 c313
35. Sir F. WISE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of gold held abroad on account of the Bank of Germany?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I have no special information with, regard to the accounts of the Reichsbank, which is a private German institution. The bank's weekly return for the week ended 22nd September, which has appeared in the Press, states that the amount of gold deposited with foreign central note banks, and not pledged as cover for advances, was 119 million gold marks (say, £6 million sterling).
