HC Deb 07 May 1941 vol 371 c858
64. Mr. Stokes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce legislation to, cause the half-yearly accounts of the Bank of England to be drawn up in a form recommended by a committee representative of banking, commerce, the recognised societies of accountants, and the general public, and to cause the accounts of the bank to be audited?

Captain Crookshank

No, Sir.

Mr. Stokes

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman not aware of the great dissatisfaction felt by a large number of professional people at the way in which these accounts are drawn up?

Captain Crookshank

No, Sir.

Mr. Stokes

If I send my right hon. and gallant Friend a representation on the matter, will he make a proper study of it?

Captain Crookshank

Yes, Sir.
