HC Deb 24 August 1945 vol 413 cc970-1W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount received to date since the war began by way of free gifts and of Lend-Lease from the Dominion of Canada.

Mr. Dalton

To the end of June of this year, the total in question amounted to some $Can. 2,660,000,000. Of this $Can. 1,000,000,000 was by way of gift for the purchase of Canadian supplies in 1942, the balance is mutual aid.
