§ 37. Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what dollar allowance has been made to Mr. Cecil Palmer now lecturing in the United States under the auspices of the National Economic Council of America.
§ Sir S. CrippsI regret that I cannot disclose particulars relating to the affairs of an individual.
§ Mr. Skeffington-LodgeWhile that may well be so, is not the Chancellor aware that this individual preaches anti-Semitism, criticises the Leader of the Opposition and attacks the Marshall Plan? As all these activities are calculated to increase the dollar difficulties of this country, is there not something he can do about it?
§ Sir S. CrippsI am afraid I can do nothing about stopping Mr. Palmer doing any of those things.
§ Sir W. DarlingIs the right hon. and learned Gentleman aware that he can, if he desires it, get a much less coloured report of the activities of Mr. Cecil Palmer than that which the hon. Member for Bedford (Mr. Skeffington-Lodge) has just presented?
