§ 72. Sir F. WISEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if there are any early prospects of the rupee being linked to gold or a gold standard?
Mr. GUINNESSI think this is a question which should be addressed to the Under-Secretary of State for India. The fact that sterling is now stabilised with gold will naturally make it easier to fix the relation of the rupee to the £
§ Sir F. WISEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the amount of gold that has left the United States of America since October, 1924, and the destination of the gold?
Mr. GUINNESSWith the hon. Member's permission, I will circulate a tabular statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT
