§ 50. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyreasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an assurance that His Majesty's Government will not make loans abroad at interest rates more favourable than those gained by His Majesty's Govern ment in the case of the U.S. Loan.
§ Mr. DaltonNo, Sir. Our capacity for making loans will continue to be very limited, but I am not prepared to bind myself as to the terms on which any such loans may be made.
§ Colonel Crosthwaite-EyreWill the Chancellor bear in mind that any loan made on terms more favourable than those received from America is bound to result in a further commitment of dollar exchange on the part of this country?
