HC Deb 26 July 1933 vol 280 c2595
71. Mr. COVE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the policy of His Majesty's Government to restore the Gold Standard by anchoring the pound sterling to the gold franc; and, if so, will he state the reasons for this policy?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave yesterday to the right hon. and gallant Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Colonel Wedgwood).
