HC Deb 19 January 1943 vol 386 cc88-9W
Mr. Norman Bower

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to pave the way for the closest possible economic collaboration between Great Britain and Russia after the war, he intends to initiate in the near future any further discussions with the Soviet Government with a view to reaching a mutually satisfactory solution of the Russian debt problem?

Sir K. Wood

No, Sir. I do not think that the present would be an appropriate time to take up this question.
