§ 7. Mr. GILLETTasked the Under-Secretary of State for India how soon the Government of India will be prepared to declare its policy in regard to the Report of the Royal Commission on Indian Currency and Finance?
§ 12. Sir FREDRIC WISEasked the Under-Secretary of State for India if he can announce the policy in regard to the Report of the Indian Currency Commission?
§ Earl WINTERTONI would refer my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford (Sir F. Wise) and the hon. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Gillett) to the announce meat issued on 4th August, intimating the acceptance by the Government of the recommendation in the Royal Com 1524 mission's Report regarding the ratio of the rupee to gold. As regards the other main recommendations, I am not yet in a position to make a statement, but I hope that the decisions of the Government on them will be announced at a very early date.
§ Mr. GILLETTWill this House have any opportunity before Christmas of discussing the Commission's Report?
§ Earl WINTERTONAny question as to business should be addressed to the Prime Minister, but I should think it very unlikely. Most of the recommendations are hardly those which require consideration by this House before they are Rut into operation.
§ Sir F. WISEWill the matter be discussed in this House at all?
§ Earl WINTERTONAs I have just indicated, any question on that matter should be addressed to the Prime Minister.
