HC Deb 18 January 1944 vol 396 c37
71. Mr. Hewlett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the action of certain South American Governments in arbitrarily reducing agreed rates of interest on their loans taken up by British subjects, he will, in view of the importance of invisible exports and the most advantageous use of British capital in the post-war restoration of British trade, investigate the desirability of such financial assistance, being accorded to Governments who, even in times of prosperity, do not recognise international obligations.

Sir J. Anderson

My hon. Friend may be assured that all relevant factors, including those to which he has drawn attention, will be borne in mind.
