HC Deb 24 October 1944 vol 404 c27
53. Sir Frank Sanderson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether further consideration is being given to the use of the decimal system in British currency, with a view to aiding our country to meet foreign competition in the export field.

Sir J. Anderson

No, Sir. I doubt if such a change would be of material assistance against foreign competition in the export field, and there are weighty objections to it from other points of view.
