50. Mr. RHYS DAVIES (for Mr. MORGAN JONES)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury for what period it is proposed to maintain the issue of fiduciary bank notes at £275,000,000?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

The period will necessarily depend on future circumstances.

Mr. DAVIES

Can the hon. Member tell me what kind of circumstances will provide a basis for determining the period?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The whole matter depends on a recommendation from the Bank of England.
