48. Mr. THURTLE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of the loss sustained by the State as a result of trading transactions in connection with Australian zinc?

Sir P. GUNLIFFE-LISTER

I have been asked to reply. The latest completed accounts for Australian zinc concentrates are those for the financial year 1923–24. The net loss as from April, 1918, to 31st March, 1924, was £1,328,000.
