HC Deb 03 July 1933 vol 280 cc6-7
37. Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to prevent further lose to British subjects, he will request them to lodge for registration all German State and municipal bonds issued in England held by them since July, 1932; and then request the authorities of the various British stock exchanges to refuse to recognise transactions in unregistered German bonds and by that means prevent German Speculators divesting themselves in Britain of their own defaulted public securities?

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

My right hon. Friend has considered the hon. Member's suggestion, but he does not feel able to adopt it.
