asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at what capital value the territory of Silesia has been taken into consideration when assessing the total of reparations to be paid.
Mr. McNeil:
As the total of reparations to be paid is not assessed in terms of money, the Question does not arise.

Has my right hon. Friend read Mr. Byrnes' book "Speaking Frankly"? Will he study it, and learn that the rateable value of property in Silesia before the war was assessed at over 11 billion dollars?
Mr. McNeil:
I must repeat that the question of reparations is not tied to assessments.
