HC Deb 31 March 1914 vol 60 c999
5. Sir GEORGE SCOTT ROBERTSON

asked the number of sovereigns imported into India during the current year, approximately?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

The net imports of sovereigns into India in the first ten months of the year 1913–14 were £5,044,100. The net imports for the whole financial year may be estimated at £7,400,000.

Sir G. SCOTT ROBERTSON

Does this great falling off, in conjunction with the lower prices, accepted for Council Bills mean that the Government of India has successfully attempted to check the flow of gold to India?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member must put his question on the Paper.
