asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give details of quantities and prices of the commodities purchased with the £937,500,000 loan from the U.S.A. and the £300,000,000 loan from Canada, respectively; and what are the balances remaining at the latest available date.

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to what I said in this House on this and related matters on 7th August. I am not prepared to give details of quantities and prices of particular commodities.
