HC Deb 31 March 1927 vol 204 cc1419-20
68. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total money payments received by this country in reparations from ex-enemy countries since the end of the late War; the estimated value in pounds sterling of the reparations received in kind by this country; and what have been the total payments received by this country towards the costs of the armies of occupation in pounds sterling?

Mr. CHURCHILL

This country has received from Germany, approximately, £57 millions on account of the costs of the British Army of Occupation, and £33 millions on account of reparations. Of the above, some £10 millions were taken in the form of deliveries in kind and a further £10 millions in the form of German currency and supplies furnished to the Army of Occupation. We have received in cash from Bulgaria £133,000 on account of the cost of the British occupation, and £98,000 on account of reparation. No reparation payments have been made to His Majesty's Government by Austria or Hungary.
