§ 77. Mr. CRAVEN-ELLISasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps 1524 he will take to evolve a monetary policy based on the convertibility of the currency into gold in order that the policy of import duties and Empire preference may be proceeded with?
§ Major ELLIOTI cannot add to the statements which have already been made on the monetary position, but I do not share the view which my hon. Friend appears to hold that a policy of import duties and Empire preference must necessarily await the evolution of a monetary policy of the nature suggested.
§ Mr. CRAVEN-ELLISWhen are the Government likely to make a definite statement as to their intention of dealing with monetary policy, which is one of the most vital questions of the day?
§ Major ELLIOTI have already stated that I could not add to the statement which has already been made.
