§ 46. Mr. LYLEasked the Prime Minister whether the Genoa Conference will take into consideration the continued depreciation of the Russian currency; whether he is aware that the Soviet printing presses are working day and night turning out paper money; and that, although truck-loads of notes are being sent away to new-destinations, it is found impossible to meet the existing demand?
Mr. YOUNGThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As to the second and third, I fear I have no information as to the arrangements adopted by the Soviet authorities.
§ Mr. LYLEWill the Prime Minister, when he takes into consideration proposals for promoting trade with Russia, bear in mind the great possibilities of the British printing press makers?
