HC Deb 26 April 1949 vol 464 c17
29. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what conversations have taken place between Mr. Tasca of the Economic Co-operation Administration and the Organisation of European Economic Co-operation and His Majesty's Government, respectively.

Sir S. Cripps

So far as I am aware, none at all.

Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

Can that answer be assumed to mean that Mr. Tasca has come over to discuss the devaluation of European currencies and that there is no question of sterling being devalued?

Sir S. Cripps

There is no question of sterling being devalued, but I do not know what that has to do with Mr. Tasca.
