HC Deb 25 February 1948 vol 447 c1926
12. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is proposed to accompany currency reform in Germany with a definite plan for the import of raw materials and the export of manufactured goods.

Mr. Bevin

Consideration will be given to this together with the other economic factors connected with the planning for currency reform.

Mr. Stokes

Is my right hon. Friend aware that if he reforms the currency without making goods available, he will have to reform the currency again next year and the year after as well?

Mr. Bevin

I am quite aware of that. At the same time since this matter is now under consideration and being negotiated, I cannot give further details.
