HC Deb 13 November 1928 vol 222 cc696-7W
Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the value of the Austrian bonds handed to Great Britain in the year 1923 in repayment of indebtedness; whether the bonds are still held by His Majesty's Government; and, if not, what sum was produced by their realisation?

Mr. CHURCHILL

His Majesty's Government received in 1923 £3,118,900 (nominal) Austrian 6 per cent, guaranteed Bonds, being the equivalent at the net issue price of certain cash advances to Austria plus accrued interest. The Bonds have all been sold, and they have realised £2,913,747 11s.
