HC Deb 28 May 1919 vol 116 cc1185-6
6. Mr. GEORGE TERRELL

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he will appoint two Members of this House interested in the export of British manufactures to the Commission on Indian Currency?

10. Mr. MANVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the proposed Commission on Indian Currency is to sit in London; and, if so, whether he will add to that Commission two Members of the House of Commons to be nominated by the Association of British Chambers of Commerce and the Federation of British Industries?

Mr. MONTAGU

In constituting the Committee I have endeavoured to make it representative of the various interests affected. The Committee will sit in London and hear evidence. I hope to make an immediate announcement on the subject.

Mr. TERRELL

My right hon. Friend has not answered the point of my question: Is he appointing representatives to this Commission who will represent the manufacturers?

Mr. MONTAGU

Yes, I hope so. Of course, my hon. Friend will understand that the Commission is primarily constistituted for India.
