HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 cc505-7W
Mr. A. T. DAVIES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Mr. Wadsworth, of the United States Debt Funding Commission, has been assisting British officials in London on the charges to be made in Anglo-American debt debenture; and whether the final draft will be submitted to this House before the conclusion of this agreement?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

Advantage was taken of the presence of Mr. Wadsworth in London on a private visit to have a brief informal discussion with him on certain technical points now under discussion between the two Governments. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative. The terms have already been published of the agreement which resulted from the conferences between the British Mission and the American Foreign Debt Commission. The present discussions are confined to technical points arising on the preparation of bonds to give effect to the terms of that settlement.
