HC Deb 03 December 1936 vol 318 c1433
69. Sir ARNOLD WILSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is now in a position to give a revised estimate of the sum he expects to receive during the current financial year by way of dividend on the holdings of His Majesty's Government in the Suez Canal Company?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The amount received up to date during the current financial year by way of dividend on the holdings of His Majesty's Government in the Suez Canal Company is £1,575,931. I am not at present in a position to give an estimate of the amount to be received during the remainder of the current financial year.

Mr. NOEL-BAKER

Can the right hon. Gentleman inform the House what were the proceeds from the transport of poison gas?
