§ 56. Mr. MORLEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he proposes to take to effect a rise, with concomitant stabilisation, in the price of silver?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to a similar question which he asked on 17th March last.
§ Mr. MORLEYHas no action been taken in the matter in the interval? Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a few days ago the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Hillhead (Sir Horne) said in a public statement that a rise in the price of silver would be of immense benefit to British commerce and industry? Is no attention to be paid to the right hon. Gentleman's views?
§ Mr. SNOWDENI am afraid I do not always read the speeches of politicians, and I am not aware of the statement to which the hon. Member refers. The answer to the first part of his question is the answer that I gave him.
