HC Deb 27 February 1936 vol 309 c672W
Colonel BURTON

asked the Chancellor of the Excheque: what amount has been expended by this country in the imposition of sanctions; whether he has any comparable figures of expenditure by other members of the League of Nations; and will all accounts for such expenditure be paid pro rata by all members of the League?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The cost to the Exchequer of the imposition of sanctions is not considerable and I should estimate it at well under £1,000. The answer to the second and third parts of the question is in the negative.
