HC Deb 25 April 1929 vol 227 c1053
30. Mr. SULLIVAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what payment has been made by France and Italy since 1918 in respect of their debts to this country?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Up to date the French Government have paid £18,000,000 and the Italian Government have paid £14,000,000 on account of their respective war debts to this country.

Mr. SULLIVAN

Will the Chancellor of the Exchequer tell the House whether there is any arrangement with the French Government as to repayment of the debt?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Yes, and Parliamentary papers have been laid upon that subject which would well repay the hon. Member's study.

Mr. SULLIVAN

I have read what has taken place here.
