§ 75. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fluctuations in sterling caused by small day-to-day transactions, he will consider an early restoration of free dealings in forward exchange?
§ Major ELLIOTI would refer the right hon. Member to the reply given to my right hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Ripon Division (Major Hills) on Thursday last.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware of the unanimous opinion there is in the exchange in favour of this reform, and why has it been postponed?
§ Major ELLIOTI am afraid that I cannot add anything to the answer previously given.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODWill there he any chance of getting this ridiculous imposition stopped before the House meets again, and shall we have any change of policy before 2nd February?
