Reparations

71.

Mr HANNON
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to make a statement on the agreement arrived at during the recent Hague Conference on the settlement of non-German reparations, i.e., as affecting Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN
The agreements are being printed and will be laid before Parliament as soon as possible. I am considering whether it would be useful to issue in addition an explanatory memorandum.

Mr. HANNON
Is this agreement now final?

Mr. SNOWDEN
Yes.
