§ 64. Mr. Douglas Marshallasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider taking the necessary steps to prevent retail shops and wholesale establishments transacting cash business in excess of £100 otherwise than by cheque.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallNo, Sir. Such a control would be an unjustifiable infringement of individual liberty and could not, in fact, be made fully effective.
§ Mr. MarshallAm I to understand from the Financial Secretary to the Treasury that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not anxious about such large cash transactions?
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThat is another question, but I hope hon. Members will realise the difficulty of trying to implement such a suggestion as this, supposing my right hon. Friend were willing to try.
