asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the conditions which were asked from the Polish Government for the borrowing of £5,000,000 sterling from this country; what part of the conditions were unacceptable to the Polish Government; and whether negotiations are to continue?

In reply to the last part of the question, the offer made by His Majesty's Government and the French Government remains open.
