Debate between Lord Darling of Roulanish and Richard Bacon

Tuesday 8th June 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Darling]

My right hon. Friend is right. No doubt there will be another occasion to revisit the lend-lease arrangements that the then Government entered into in the 1940s, although I commend to the House Lord Robert Skidelsky’s excellent third volume on Keynes, which deals with this matter quite extensively. Some people thought that we got a pretty bad deal in 1943, but there you are.
