§ 72. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps are in contemplation for dealing with the financial and economic situation that will arise next February when the stand-still arrangement for German payments comes to an end?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThis question is one which engages the constant attention of the Government, but it raises much too 534 wide issues for it to be possible to deal with it in reply to a Parliamentary question.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYWill the right hon. Gentleman state when we may expect a statement of policy on this question for the information of the many people in many countries who are interested; and when he will give his attention to the question instead of to political intrigues?
§ Mr. SNOWDENI cannot give an answer to that question. The hon. and gallant Member knows that this is a matter in which not alone His Majesty's Government are concerned.
