HC Deb 30 March 1936 vol 310 cc1601-2
2. Lieut.-Commander FLETCHER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will inquire and make a statement as to how Germany is financing her rearmament?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)

My information is that Germany is financing her rearmament by internal borrowing.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is it not a fact that the Indian Government, by importing £1,000,000 worth of railway material from Germany, is also assisting them to rearm?

Sir ASSHETON POWNALL

Is there any truth in the statement made in the House that the expenditure last year amounted to £800,000,000?

Mr. EDEN

I should like to see that question on the Paper.
