HC Deb 28 February 1933 vol 275 c181
50. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government will consider drawing up schemes for nationalising big banking concerns similar to that approved by a resolution passed by the landtag of Bavaria?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will not the right hon. Gentleman consider this in relation to our present situation?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The circumstances of the resolution appear to be rather curious; I understand that it was carried by a combination between Nazis and Socialists and was opposed by the Communist party.

Mr. WILLIAMS

As it seems to have met with the general approval of all parties, does not the right hon. Gentleman think that he ought to consider it?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The report which I have seen about the resolution is that it is not to be considered as anything more than a demonstration.
