§ 70. Sir NEWTON MOOREasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total amount of reparations collected by the British Government on account of Canada, the total amount transferred to Canada, the amount due and unpaid, and the reason for the balance being unpaid?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLCanada's share of the British Empire reparation receipts under the Dawes plan (covering the period 1st September, 1924, to 30th November, 1926) amounts to approximately £734,000, which has been paid over.
Canada is also entitled to a share in the pre-Dawes reparation receipts which, on the basis of accounts accepted by the other Dominions, is estimated at £778,650; and this will be paid over as soon as the accounts are accepted and a settlement is reached on certain financial claims outstanding between Great Britain and Canada. I submitted proposals for a settlement to Mr. Mackenzie King last November hut I have not yet received the reply of the Canadian Government.
