§ Sir A. SPROTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he anticipates during the current financial year the receipt of any sums of money from Germany, under Article 232, Annexe 1., Subsections (5) and (7), of the Peace Treaty, compensation for pensions and family allowances of mobilised persons?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have not taken credit for any receipt under this head in my forecasts for the year.
§ Sir A. SPROTasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he anticipates during the current financial year any payments into the Exchequer on account of the £1,568,447,000 due to us on account of loans advanced to the Allies, or on account of the £170,896,000 due from our Dominions?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI do not anticipate any considerable repayments of principal in respect of these loans this year, except that, as stated in my Budget speech, I hope to be able to arrange to set off certain of the advances made to the Dominion of Canada against the considerably larger advances made to this country by the Dominion Government. There will be certain payments by the Dominions for interest, included under the head of Receipts from Sundry Loans in the weekly statement published in the "London Gazette."
