HC Deb 25 November 1930 vol 245 c1092
59. Mr. MORLEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he proposes to take in the near future to increase the national control over the Bank of England, more particularly in relation to the issuing department?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

Our general financial and banking mechanism is now under review by the Macmillan Committee.

Mr. WISE

In view of the very great importance of the consideration of these banking problems, will the right hon. Gentleman make representations to the Macmillan Committee to accelerate its report?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I shall do no such thing.

Mr. WISE

Will the right hon. Gentleman make representations to his right hon. Friend and give an opportunity to the House to discuss the banking policy of this country?
