§ 73. Mr. D. MASONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the continuous, and in many cases jusifiable, demands by employés for an advance of wages, owing to the increased cost of living, he will take steps to limit or contract the issue of Treasury currency notes, which now amounts to £195,000,000, and is one of the principal contributing causes of the ever-increasing rise in the prices of commodities?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for North Somerset on the 24th October.
§ Mr. SPEAKERWe have only five minutes left, and we are not yet half-way through the questions on the Paper.
