HC Deb 27 March 1922 vol 152 c945
37. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the recent collapse in the German exchange; and what steps, in view of the urgent need of a stabilised exchange for the economic recovers' of Europe, the Government intends to take in the matter?

Mr. YOUNG

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second, the whole subject of exchange will, I hope, be fully examined at Genoa with a view to such international action as is possible.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

What is the use of discussing the question of the exchange at Genoa if the Reparations and Peace Treaties are to be ruled out of the agenda?

Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

What is the use of going to Genoa if the Reparations Commission are inflicting sabotage on Central Europe?

Mr. M. STEVENS

Will the whole question of the stabilisation of exchanges be dealt with in Genoa?

Mr. YOUNG

I have no doubt that these matters will be entered into and explained more fully in the course of the discussion.
