HC Deb 11 May 1943 vol 389 c475
39. Mr. Stokes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether goods amounting in value to £170,000,000 actually arrived in Russia from this country under Lend-Lease, or whether that figure represents only the value of goods despatched?

Sir K. Wood

As I explained in my Budget Statement, the figure of £170,000,000 represented the value of military supplies, including those sent from Canada, so far despatched to the U.S.S.R. from this country under Lend-Lease.

Mr. Stokes

If my right hon. Friend will read his own speech, he will perhaps recognise that he did not say "despatched."
