asked the Minister for External Affairs if his attention has been drawn to a statement by the Leader of the House of Lords, reported in the Press on March 10th, that the British Government had already been in touch with the Dominions and India on post-war financial questions; whether this country has been included in such discussions; and, if not, if he will make representations to have this country included in any future such discussions.

I have seen the statement referred to. This country has not been included in the discussions. There is, however, a certain informal exchange of information on financial matters going on all the time between the two countries. If at any time formal discussions are considered necessary, representations to this effect will be made.
