57. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total value in sterling of goods, based on retail prices, actually purchased or ordered by His Majesty's Government in the U.S.A. during 1946.

Mr. Dalton

Purchases were £230 millions, but this cannot be translated into retail prices.
