§ Sir R. Glynasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much value in dollars under the reverse Lend-Lease total of 5,600,000,000, came from the British 944W Commonwealth and Empire; how much from the United Kingdom; and how much from all the rest of the Allies jointly.
§ Mr. DaltonOf this total $3,797,000,000 was in respect of reverse Lend-Lease from the United Kingdom and Colonies, $1,498,000,000 from the Dominions (not including Canada) and India and $305,000,000 from the rest of the Allies.
§ Sir R. Glynasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent any common standard of costings has been agreed between the Treasury and the United States when determining the value for Lend-Lease services, in view of the fact that United States procurement agencies have been purchasing in the United Kingdom and Dominions, goods at prices considerably below the cost of similar articles in America.
§ Mr. DaltonNo such common standard has been agreed, either for Lend-Lease or Reciprocal Aid. What is recorded is expenditure by each country on the provision of goods and services for the other under Lend-Lease or Reciprocal Aid, as the case may be. Thus the cost of identical goods furnished under Lend-Lease and Reciprocal Aid will differ in the respective records when prices differ in the two countries.
