HC Deb 14 December 1948 vol 459 c113W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will now make a statement on the financial arrangements with Poland under which £24 million will be involved in order to buy bacon.

Sir S. Cripps

I cannot anticipate the conclusion of the negotiations which are at present proceeding in Warsaw, but if the hon. Member is referring to a recent Press report in which a comparable figure was mentioned, I can assure him that it gave a completely false impression of the negotiations.
