Balance of Payments (White Paper)

HC Deb 18 January 1949 vol 460 cc27-8

42. Mr. Spearman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he is going to publish the balance of payments White Paper for 1948.

Sir S. Cripps

I would ask the hon. Member to await the Economic Survey for 1949, which will be published in March.

Mr. Spearman

Does not the right hon. and learned Gentleman think that a consistent series of statistical data on this all-important subject should be available at regular intervals?

Sir S. Cripps

I will certainly consider that question.
