HC Deb 17 May 1938 vol 336 c207
22. Mr. Liddall

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he will inform the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia that the recent failure of the flotation of a loan indicates that investors are of the opinion that a proportion of the existing Australian loans issued in London should be repatriated to Australia, and that, until this is done, it would not be advisable to attempt to float another loan in London?

Mr. M. MacDonald

No, Sir.

Mr. Liddall

Is it not obvious that investors are looking at this question from that point of view?

Mr. Maxton

Will not the right hon. Gentleman try to get the same kind of row with Australia as you have got going with Mexico?
