HC Deb 09 March 1948 vol 448 cc1004-5
43. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is satisfied that exchange control is working evenly and satisfactorily in the scheduled territories.

Sir S. Cripps

On the whole, yes, Sir, but we are always striving for improvement.

Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

Will the Chancellor of the Exchequer look at the situation in Ceylon, where, despite the fact that they have no oil wells, there is no oil rationing at the present time?

Sir S. Cripps

We have looked, and are looking, at the position in Ceylon.

Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

Then will it be a little too much to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take a little action?
