asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that British citizens have transferred sterling for the financial assistance of Walter Naumann and other German Nazis; and if he will refuse permission for any such transfer of sterling in the future.

No application has been made to the exchange control authorities to transfer funds for this purpose, nor would I approve applications for purposes which are inconsistent with the national interest.

But is not the hon. Gentleman aware that the German Chancellor, in a speech in Bonn, stated that Walter Naumann and the other associates were receiving financial aid from Sir Oswald Mosley; and can the hon. Gentleman give the House any information as to where this money is coming from?

I understand that Sir Oswald Mosley is a resident of Eire, and therefore not subject to our exchange control. So far as any United Kingdom subscriptions are concerned, I am grateful to the hon. Member for the opportunity to make the position clear, as I have done.

Can my hon. Friend say whether the Sir Oswald Mosley who has been mentioned is the gentleman who was a Member of the Labour Government in 1930?
