Mr. WHYTEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, before any decision to return to the Gold Standard is taken, the House will have an opportunity of debating the question; and if reasonable notice will be given in order to ensure that business houses making forward contracts will not be penalised?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would suggest to my hon. Friend that it is altogether premature to enter into the topics which he has raised at the present time.
