Mr. CHAMBERLAINIt would be impossible, especially within the limits of 634 an answer to a question, to define the exact degree of responsibility which attaches to the Ministers most directly concerned in a matter of Government policy which must ultimately be one for consideration by the Cabinet as a whole.
§ 105. Sir WILFRID SUGDENasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state to date what immediate action he is taking on lines of debt settlement with France in view of the engineering competition by French or engineering companies in France with English engineering firms in Durham and Northumberland?
