HC Deb 23 December 1937 vol 330 c2146
40. Mr. Day

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has any further statement to make with regard to the sterling credit to France; and whether the gold reserve in the Bank of France is in any way charged with security for this credit?

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Lieut.-Colonel Colville)

These questions do not arise, as the credit is in course of repayment, the final payment being made to-morrow.

Mr. Day

Can the Minister say what was the total amount?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

The hon. Member can obtain that information from other sources.
