HC Deb 07 April 1936 vol 310 c2600
52. Mr. E. SMITH

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Herr Hjalmar Schacht has interviewed him or any of the officials of His Majesty's Treasury in the course of his visits to this country during the past few years?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Dr. Schacht attended the World Economic Conference in London in 1933. Since that date neither I nor any of the officials of His Majesty's Treasury have had any interviews with him in the course of any visits which he may have paid to this country.

Mr. SMITH

Is it not a fact that Herr Schacht has, during the past year or two, visited prominent directors of the Bank of England, and prominent directors and financiers in the oil industry in this country?
