HC Deb 13 June 1906 vol 158 cc959-60
*CAPTAIN FABER

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the condition of Government securities on the Stock Exchange; and whether he proposes to take any steps to remedy this by curtailing the export of gold from this country, and by these means to increase our gold reserve.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fife, E.

The position of the gold reserves is a subject which is engaging my close attention, but I am not at present prepared to make any statement on the subject.
