§ 47. Mr. Boothbyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the comprehensive economic agreement which has now been arrived at between France and Great Britain, he will consider relaxing the restrictions at present imposed upon the export of currency from one country to the other?
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Simon)These and cognate questions are kept under constant review by the two Treasuries in accordance with the spirit of the Anglo-French Financial Agreement.
§ Mr. BoothbyCan my right hon. Friend say whether any real relaxation of the present stringent rules may possibly be expected in the near future?
§ Sir J. SimonI cannot give any pledge about that. As my hon. Friend knows there are special considerations involved.
