HC Deb 19 March 1931 vol 249 c2132
43. Mr. ALBERY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the proposed French legislation to compensate French original and small subscribers of War Rentes, he will press that British subscribers of similar status shall also receive at least equal consideration?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Pethick-Lawrence)

Representations are being made to the French Government in the sense proposed by the hon. Member.

Mr. ALBERY

Can the hon. Gentleman say if those representations will especially apply to French loans issued in London during and after the War?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

Perhaps the hon. Member will nut down a further question on the specific point he is now raising.
