HC Deb 14 March 1933 vol 275 cc1765-6
49. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can make any statement as to the restrictions placed by the Treasury upon the raising of capital needed for the construction of the Falster Zealand Bridge?

51. Mr. STOURTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his attention has been called to the fact that a contract has recently been awarded by the Danish Government to Messrs. Dorman Long for the construction of a £2,000,000 bridge; and if, in view of the importance of this contract, involving an order for £1,000,000 of British steelwork, he will be prepared to make an exception in this case to the general embargo on foreign loans, so that the conditional proviso that part of the sum required is raised in this country can be fulfilled?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

My right hon. Friend has this question under consideration, but is not yet in a position to make a statement about it.
