§ 51. Mr. G. Straussasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to render more effective the exchange control of the £, he has approached the Dominion Governments with a view to forming a joint Empire control; and, if se, with what result?
§ Captain CrookshankEach of the Dominion Governments has imposed exchange control under its own legislation, and every effort is made to ensure coordination and co-operation between the authorities concerned, both as regards the Governments and the central banks.
§ Mr. StraussIs the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that unless there is unified control, there cannot be complete and satisfactory control?
§ Captain CrookshankI think everything is quite satisfactory in this field at the moment.
