§ MR. B. S. STRAUS (Tower Hamlets, Mile End)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the committee of the London Stock Ex- 1072 change are proposing new bye-laws which are restrictive in their character; and whether, with the view of safeguarding public interests and the exchange of business between financial centres, he will propose legislation.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) I understand that the Stock Exchange Committee have certain new rules under consideration, but I am not aware of anything which would justify me in proposing legislative action in the matter.
