HC Deb 17 November 1932 vol 270 c1281
19. Mr. JOEL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any payments in respect of war debts have been made to this country in the last 12 months; and, if so, by whom?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

No payments have been made to this country in respect of Inter-Allied War Debts in the last 12 months. The only payments made in respect of Dominion War Debts have been two instalments each of £163,750 which were made by the Government of the Union of South Africa in accordance with the generous decision of that Government not to avail themselves of the offer of a suspension of payments during the Hoover year.
