Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any intimation has been given to the French Government that Great Britain does not expect France to remit, on 15th June next, her debt instalment of 800,000,000 francs; and whether any such concession will be made conditional upon arrangements being made with the United States of America for the non-payment of the June instalment of the Anglo-American debt?
Mr. HORE-EIELISHAThe position in regard to the Allied War Debts due to this country was fully stated to the House in the Debate on the 14th December last and has not been in any way modified since.
