HC Deb 29 June 1943 vol 390 c1467
5 Mr. Craven-Ellis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can make a statement on the Currency Conference which is proceeding in Washington; and will be publish the names of the British representatives attending?

Sir K. Wood

The meetings referred to form part of the further explanatory discussions on post-war monetary questions by experts to which I referred in my speech on 12th May. The official representative of the British Treasury who is stationed at Washington and experts from some other countries who happened to be there at the time also attended. Further expert discussions will continue and there is no fresh statement which I can usefully make at this time.

Sir G. Gibson

Have any countries other than the United States and this country submitted schemes such as the International Clearing House scheme?

Sir K. Wood

Perhaps my hon. Friend would put that Question on the Paper.
