HC Deb 18 April 1940 vol 359 c1131W
Sir R. Wells

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is proposed to requisition for foreign exchange purposes any of the £200,000,000 of British-owned obligations of the Brazilian Government, states and municipalities, or Brazilian public utility concerns?

Sir J. Simon

I do not think it would be desirable for me to state whether particular classes of securities will be vested.
