HC Deb 03 July 1939 vol 349 c927
83. Mr. E. Smith

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can make a statement on the consultations and negotiations that have been held between representatives of the Government, the Bank of England, and Mr. Walter Nash, the Finance Minister of New Zealand; what has been the Government's policy in this matter; and what action has been or will be taken?

Captain Crookshank

I cannot add anything at the present stage to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave on 21st June to the hon. Member for Govan (Mr. Maclean).

Mr. Smith

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that New Zealand is one of the most loyal members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and that being so, are they not worthy of better treatment than they get from His Majesty's Government?
