§ 65. Mr. LEWISasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the existing restrictions on certain specified types of new capital issues will be withdrawn?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThis question is under constant review, but I am unable to make any further statement at present.
§ Mr. LEWISDoes the right hon. Gentleman realise that under present regulations a foreign borrower cannot raise a. loan in this country even if the proceeds are to be spent here; and does he appreciate the fact that such loans do much good to our export trade?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe hon. Member will remember a case in which the embargo was raised, the circumstances being similar to those which he has described.
§ Sir A. M. SAMUELWill the right hon. Gentleman also bear in mind that the British investing public has lost millions of pounds because of the defaults on foreign loans?
