Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any statement to make on the outcome of the recent Anglo-American financial talks in Washington.
Sir S. Cripps
No, Sir. In accordance with regular practice representatives of the Treasury recently paid a routine visit to consult with our own representatives in Washington. Any contacts with American officials were personal and informal.
Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

Sir S. Cripps
It means nothing of the sort. It means that that was why two officials visited America.
