HC Deb 23 March 1936 vol 310 cc891-2W
Mr. GALLACHER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state the amount of loans and credits lent from sources in Great Britain to industrial or other private concerns in Germany since January, 1931; the date and amount of each such loan or credit; and the amount repaid to date?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am not aware of any loans or credits lent from sources in Great Britain to industrial or other private concerns in Germany since January, 1931, apart from short-term credits for commercial purposes. As regards the credit granted by the Bank of England to the Reichsbank in 1934 I would refer to the reply given to-day to a question by the hon. Member for the Stoke Division (Mr. E. Smith).
