§ Sir R. Glynasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what is the approximate total sum advanced by the Treasury for the necessities of allied Governments and the forces under them now co-operating with British forces, apart from Lend-Lease; and what financial arrangements have been made for the ultimate adjustment of their accounts with the Free French, the Poles and the Yugo-Slavs?
§ Sir K. WoodThe total amount so far advanced to Allied Governments, exclusive of Lend-Lease, is approximately £195,000,000. The question of repayment of the advances made to Free French and the Polish Government will be a matter for discussion at the end of the War. Apart from a small credit in January 1940 for the purchase of aircraft and spare parts, which is now subject to a moratorium until the end of the war, the Yugoslav Government has not had recourse to His Majesty's Government for financial assistance during the war.
