HC Deb 08 December 1931 vol 260 c1698
66. Mr. COCKS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take the initiative in calling together a world conference on gold or, failing that., whether he will take steps to call together a conference of all the countries now off the Gold Standard to discuss the present monetary situation?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for the Moseley Division (Mr. Hannon) on the 3rd December.

Mr. COCKS

Have the Government any policy on this subject, or are they following in the footsteps of the last Government?
