§ 1. Sir FREDRIC WISEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India if he has received a communication from the Bengal Chamber of Commerce on the currency situation; and, if so, what does he propose doing in the matter?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Richards)No, Sir. The communication to which the hon. Member refers has, I understand from the Press, been addressed to the Government of India, who are doubtless giving it careful consideration. It is scarcely necessary for me to add that my Noble Friend is in constant communication with the Government of India on the important questions which constantly arise in connection with Indian currency and exchange.
