HC Deb 17 October 1944 vol 403 c2201
61. Mr. G. Strauss

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is proposed to issue a separate Austrian currency when allied troops enter Austria.

Sir J. Grigg

I have been asked to reply. It would not be in the public interest to disclose the allied plans in advance.

Mr. Strauss

Surely this is a matter of principle, and can we at least have an assurance that the Austrian currency will be separated from the German currency?

Sir J. Grigg

That is a different question, and if the hon. Member puts it down I may be able to give him a rather more forthcoming answer.
