§ MR. HARRY FOSTER (Suffolk, Lowestoft)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether any, and, if so, 240 what steps have been taken by Her Majesty's Government, or by the late Government, to carry out the unanimous Resolution of this House passed on 26th February 1895, expressing the increasing apprehension of the House at the constant fluctuations in the relative value of gold and silver, and the serious evils resulting therefrom; and urging Her Majesty's Government to co-operate with other Powers in an International Conference for the purpose of removing or mitigating these evils?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.Nothing has occurred since the answer I gave in August last that would lead me to suppose that anything would be gained by the initiative being taken, as my hon. Friend proposes, by Her Majesty's Government.
