HC Deb 18 May 1943 vol 389 c935
50. Mr. Ivor Thomas

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the United States silver to be made available under Lend-Lease facilities will be released to industry through the bullion market?

Sir K. Wood

Yes, Sir, so far as I can at present foresee.

Mr. Thomas

Does the right hon. Gentleman mean that the price will be fixed by the market or by the Government, and has this the approval of the United States Administration?

Sir K. Wood

Perhaps the hon. Member will put that Question down.
