52. Mr. Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the present total of advances by the Government to the Vactric Company Limited.

Sir S. Cripps

Three hundred and forty thousand pounds.

Mr. Erroll

In view of this very large sum, can the Chancellor say whether he is satisfied with the workings of this company?

Sir S. Cripps

As far as I am aware, the company is now operating successfully.

Sir W. Darling

Is the sum the Chancellor has just mentioned in addition to the sum supplied to this company by the I.C.F.C.?

Sir S. Cripps

The hon. Gentleman will have to put that question down.
