HC Deb 28 November 1950 vol 481 c124W
79. Mr. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much financial aid has been received by the United Kingdom from Canada and the United States of America since the end of the war; how much from each country separately; and how much is by gift or by repayable loans.

Mr. Gaitskell

Up to 30th September, 1950, the United Kingdom received from the United States of America $2,066 million as grant under the European Recovery Programme including $380 million conditional aid in respect of assistance by us to other European countries, and $4,073 million as repayable loan. The latter figure excludes $622½ million loan under the Lend-Lease settlement of 1945, of which $605 million is outstanding. During the same period a total of Canadian $1,185 million was received from Canada as repayable loan.
