§ Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the loan of £12,500,000 by Germany to Turkey, it is proposed to proceed with the British loan; what relation the two bear to each other; and whether, in both cases, a substantial amount will be used for the purchase of arms?

§ Mr. ButlerAccording to a communique issued in Turkey on the 7th October, the basic conditions had been laid down for the granting of a credit of 150 million Reichsmarks by Germany to Turkey. It was stated that the credit was to be used for the payment of industrial, military and public works orders. As regards the United Kingdom credits to Turkey, I would refer the hon. Member to the agreements signed on 27th May, 1938 (Command Papers 5754 and 5755).
