HC Deb 07 August 1941 vol 373 c2132W
Sir P. Hannon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will submit to the House a statement of the outstanding debts to Great Britain of European countries, namely, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Yugo-Slavia and Rumania as at 30th June, 1941?

Sir K. Wood

The Finance Accounts of the United Kingdom for 1939–40 give the figures asked for as on 31st March, 1940, and the Finance Accounts for 1940–41 which will be published shortly will give the figures as on 31st March, 1941. These necessarily exclude any advances made since the outbreak of the present war.
