HC Deb 11 July 1923 vol 166 c1367W
Mr. LEACH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can say what are the internal and external debts of Rumania, Yugo-Slavia, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Italy, and France; the amounts in each case owing to this country; and whether, in the trading interests of this country, he will agree to cancel the amounts due to us?

Mr. McNEILL

I am unable to give the hon. Gentleman exact figures asked for in the first part of his question. In answer to the second part I would refer him to the reply made by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to the hon. Member for Derby (Mr. C. Roberts) on the 19th June. The third part raises a question of policy which is hardly suitable for discussion by means of question and answer.
