HC Deb 23 November 1925 vol 188 c912
66. Mr. HARMSWORTH

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department when the accounts of the British Empire Exhibition will be issued; and whether, having regard to the guarantee given by His Majesty's Government having to be met. an opportunity will be given to this House to discuss the accounts?

Mr. SAMUEL

I am informed by the liquidators of the British Empire Exhibition that the final accounts cannot be ready for a considerable time, but I hope shortly to be able to give the House approximate figures up to the 31st October. The matter can be discussed when the House is asked to give effect to the Government guarantee.

Sir F. HALL

Will all the guarantors be treated on the same basis?

Mr. SAMUEL

All private guarantors, of course, will be treated on the same basis.

Sir F. HALL

All of them?

Mr. SAMUEL

Yes.
