HC Deb 11 March 1941 vol 369 c1152
47. Mr. Craven-Ellis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give an assurance that the Government will not depart from the Ottawa Monetary Report of 1932 and the British Currency Declaration of 1933 without first obtaining the approval of Parliament?

Sir K. Wood

No, Sir. The question whether there will at any time be any modifications of the monetary and currency policy of this country is hypothetical.

Mr. Craven-Ellis

Will the Chancellor of the Exchequer give to the House an assurance that no change will be made without consulting this House?

Sir K. Wood

I have already said no.
