HC Deb 09 May 1934 vol 289 cc1088-9
43. Mr. POTTER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will obtain copies of the report published last week by the council of foreign bondholders containing particulars of the defaults by foreign borrowers upon their pre-War and post-War loans issued in London; and will he circulate this report to the flotation houses in response to requests for the removal of the embargo upon the issue here of further foreign loans?

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

I feel confident that all those interested in the question of issuing foreign loans have already studied the report in question.
