Mr. Lloyd George was present during the debate, but did not speak.

Later in the evening the President of the Board of Trade defended France from the charge of interfering with British trade in the Rhineland. He said that the figures revealed very little diminution in our aggregate trade with Germany, and that the onus of obstructing British trade. in the Ruhr rested not on the French Government but on the Germaan.
