HC Deb 08 May 1919 vol 115 c1109
Sir C. HENRY (by Private Notice)

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the removal of the maximum price for silver bullion in America, steps will be taken to remove the maximum price in this country?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, an order is being issued to-day removing the maximum price on silver bullion in the United Kingdom.

Sir C. HENRY

In addition to the removal of price, may I take it that the restrictions in dealing with silver will also be done away with?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am not aware of any other restrictions, and I do not think there are or that there is any reason for maintaining them. I would not like to pledge myself absolutely, but I do not think there are any.
