HC Deb 02 December 1930 vol 245 c1977
46. Mr. MANDER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in connection with the reply received from the French Government with reference to his communication on the subject of the rights of British investors in French War Loan, he is proposing to take the matter to the Permanent Court of International Justice with a view to final settlement by legal process?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The whole question is still under consideration, and I am not yet in a position to announce any decision on the suggestion referred to in the question.

Mr. MANDER

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman get the French Government to do the very thing that they have done in other cases, and submit this matter to the decision of the World Court?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I have already informed the hon. Member that this matter is still under consideration.
