HC Deb 24 October 1932 vol 269 c607
64. Mr. HICKS (for Mr. THORNE)

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the present position of the Sterling Equalisation Fund?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend to the right hon. and gallant Member for Burton (Colonel Gretton) on the 20th October.

Sir STAFFORD CRIPPS

Will the hon. Gentleman tell us whether, in view of the preferences granted at Ottawa and the present state of the Canadian exchange, any steps are being taken out of the Equalisation Fund to maintain the parity of the Canadian dollar?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The answer to which I have referred amply covers that.
