HC Deb 10 June 1947 vol 438 c867
51. Mr. Bossom

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the price at which the British £ can be bought in the banks of the countries of Europe.

Mr. Dalton

If the hon. Member will let me know what particular countries he has in mind, I shall be glad to give him this information.

Mr. Bossom

Can the Chancellor tell me what can be obtained for the English £ in Belgium, for example?

Mr. Dalton

The hon. Member's Question is in very general terms, and the reply I have given is, I think, a reasonable one. If he will put down a Question in regard to any particular country in which he is interested, I will try to give him the information.

Mr. Bossom

Is the Chancellor aware that I have just given a particular case?

Mr. Dalton

Perhaps the hon. Member will put down a Question.
