§ 26. Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in view of the resolution carried at the International Conference at Genoa in 1922, whether the Treasury were consulted by the Bank of England with regard to the scope of the international meeting of delegates of central banks now being held in Paris; and whether he can now indicate a date when the proposals for the further meeting to deal with currency and price stabilisation adumbrated at Genoa, are likely to be implemented?
Mr. SAMUELThe meeting at Paris of which I am aware, is concerned, I understand, solely with statistics, and the Treasury are not specially concerned in it. With regard to the second part of the question, I have nothing to add to the previous statements by my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the subject, except that I believe that the co-operation among central banks, to which reference has more than once been made, is continually increasing.
