HC Deb 23 March 1936 vol 310 cc886-7
65. Commander LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the Olympic Games, which take place in Germany next August, will assist German finance to the extent of several million pounds in foreign currency, and that such currency is now being used to subsidise German armaments; and whether he will consider prohibiting the employment of British money in this way?

Mr. W. S. MORRISON

My right hon. Friend has no power to prohibit persons in this country from expending money in Germany in connection with the Olympic Games.

Miss WILKINSON

Will the hon. and learned Member's Department therefore use its good offices to suggest to the present Government in Germany that on the lines of their present election there should not be more than one competitor for each event?
