HC Deb 09 July 1946 vol 425 c233
56. Mr. Boothby

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any understanding has been reached between His Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States of America regarding the terms or the methods of repayment of our sterling obligations in the event of the loan agreement being approved by Congress.

Mr. Dalton

I have nothing to add to my reply to the hon. Member on 28th May.

Mr. Boothby

Does that mean that apparently authoritative statements which have recently appeared in the American Press that some understanding was reached, are without foundation?

Mr. Dalton

I, for my part, have nothing to add to my reply to the hon. Member on 28th May.

Mr. Boothby

In view of the entirely unsatisfactory nature of that answer, I beg leave to give notice to raise the matter on the Adjournment.
