HC Deb 29 May 1935 vol 302 c1129
46. Mr. MALLALIEU

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government has been in recent communication with the Government of the United States of America with a view to holding a conference on currency stabilisation and the reduction of barriers to international trade?

The PRIMEMINISTER

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. MALLALIEU

In view of the speeches of people in authority on the other side of the Atlantic, which appear to give a new approach to this question, will not the right hon. Gentleman him self take the initiative?

The PRIME MINISTER

No. We do not require at this late hour to take the initiative. We have been trying to get the initiative taken but up to now we have not been very successful.
