HC Deb 04 February 1932 vol 261 cc245-6
57. Mr. CRAVEN-ELLIS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the British Treasury and French Treasury have come to any agreement with a view

and also furnish the figures for the number of standard barrels brewed during the same periods?

Major ELLIOT

As the answer involves a table of figures, I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Sir W. WAYLAND

Would the right hon. Gentleman consider the generally expressed favourable opinion of the House for a revision of the extra penny a pint at once?

Following is the reply:

to maintaining the value of sterling at a fixed level; and, if so, what are the terms of the arrangement?

Major ELLIOT

The answer to the former part of the question is in the negative; the latter part does not therefore arise.
