HC Deb 06 July 1926 vol 197 c1876
53. Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received any further communication from Lord Meston?

Mr. CHURCHILL

No, Sir.

Mr. JOHNSTON

In view of the statement made by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on a recent Motion for the Adjournment, does the Chancellor of the Exchequer intend to allow this matter to rest where it is?

Mr. CHURCHILL

My difficulty has been to disturb it from the rest into which it has fallen, but as I have already said we are proceeding ourselves to inquire into this subject, and the delay will not be allowed to prevent any legislative action which may ultimately be found to be necessary.

Colonel DAY

Are negotiations going on with M. Caillaux?

Mr. CHURCHILL

We are now on Lord Meston.
