HC Deb 28 September 1931 vol 257 c8
45. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into the causes and circumstances of the pressure on the London gold market and its lack of support during the month of August, 1931, and with a view to preventing similar occurrences in the future?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

No, Sir.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is the Prime Minister aware that there has never been any valid reason given for the lack of support in the early days of August?
