19. Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the fact that the continued closing of the Stock Exchange, while benefiting certain interests, is detrimental to the interests of the country as a whole, by preventing the 273 free play of the sale and purchase of stocks and shares, and preventing those financial readjustments which are a particular importance at any time of financial pressure; and whether he is in communication with the authorities of the Stock Exchange on the subject?
§ Mr. MONTAGUMy right hon. Friend is in communication with various financial interests with regard to this matter, which is receiving very careful attention.
